Salary and collective wage agreement at FERCHAU
Employees’ remuneration in Germany is based on the collective wage agreement set out by the Federal Employers’ Association of Personnel Service Providers e. V. (BAP), we supplement this with our own monetary and social benefits, which go beyond the standard for this sector. The collective wage agreement applies to all technical employees of FERCHAU GmbH employed on the basis of temporary employment or a works and service contracts. However, by contrast, employees who work in central functions or in the back office, recruitment or sales, and who work in one of our branches, have individual salary bands, also with attractive additional benefits. The collective wage agreement does not apply if the position advertised relates to permanent employment with our client. As an owner-managed company, values such as obligation and transparency are particularly important to us. See the FERCHAU portfolio of services for yourself!

Frequently asked questions
As transparency is essential for us, we are happy to answer the most frequently asked questions about our collective wage agreement and salaries at FERCHAU. Please contact the colleagues in your “preferred” branch should you still have questions.
- On which factors does the salary depend?
The salary is based on the Federal Employers’ Association of Personnel Service Providers (BAP) collective wage agreement and the classification criteria it sets out. Industry allowances are also possible.
- Why does FERCHAU apply the BAP collective wage agreement?
The decisive factor in our choice of the BAP collective wage agreement is the reform of the German Temporary Employment Act in 2017 and the associated enforcement of the principle of equal pay. The collective wage agreement fully meets our customers’ requirements, and applies the industry allowance model, unlike other collective wage agreements. It meets the minimum standards of the industries in which we operate.
- What are the equal pay rules at FERCHAU?
The BAP collective wage agreement allows us to offer equal pay after nine months as well as equal pay after 15 months. The equal pay ruling that applies depends on the project remit.

The salaries and conditions of employees in our branches (Back office, Recruitment, Sales) are subject to internal conditions and salary bands. We will discuss your salary expectations with you during the application process.
- How are salaries outside Germany regulated at FERCHAU?
Our collective wage agreement and the associated additional benefits are governed by the law in Germany. Therefore, alternative provisions apply in Austria, France and Spain. A minimum annual gross salary is included in the respective job advertisement for all positions in Austria. We would recommend contacting the local colleagues for more information on remuneration in the respective countries.
- What benefits are offered in addition to the BAP collective wage agreement?
We supplement the BAP's collective wage agreement with our own voluntary additional benefits, which are not customary in the industry: They include holidays beyond the agreed collective rate, as well as special holiday and travel time regulations.
