Terms explained
Generally binding collective agreement (AVE)
A collective agreement that the labour ministry has declared binding for all employers in a sector – even without union membership.
Framework agreement (Manteltarifvertrag)
Sets general working conditions such as working hours, leave and notice periods, not the level of pay.
Pay agreement (Entgelttarifvertrag)
Sets how much is paid per pay grade.
Pay grade (Entgeltgruppe)
The classification by task and qualification. It decides which amount in the pay table applies to you.

Which pay scale might apply to you?

We show no sector pay scale for this occupation. Check step by step: region, employer and sector, bargaining parties, scope and period, then the original text. A match means “possibly relevant, please check”, not “applies to you”.
