Remuneration, employee financial participation

In times of a shortage of skilled workers, the right remuneration blend is a decisive competitive factor.

In a competent targeted manner we ensure that your system is legally compliant and is competitive in the market. We are familiar with the current discussion on leaving personal goal setting behind and on the requirements of sustainability even outside regulated industries; we assert at court the discussion on gates on operating income and follow the necessary adjustments of corporate governance. Frequent consultation topics are short-term incentives, long-term incentives, virtual shares and also reinvestment obligations and tying confidentiality and competitiveness rules to cancellation clauses.

But there is no need to worry: even the basic adjustment and harmonisation of remuneration systems, questions of changes in wage agreements and their consequences and of transfer of business are part of our standard repertoire – to ensure that you are not burdened with arry undetected legal risks. Our experts are naturally familiar with sector-specific factors too. Examples are the demography fund contribution in the chemical sector, the regulatory requirements in the banking sector and the copyright features in the media branch.

We support you in implementing, designing and harmonising collective bargaining systems. A change of wage agreement sought for remuneration reasons, and the design and negotiationof commissions and premium wage systems, are all part of our ongoing advice on works constitution and collective bargaining law.
