STARTING SALARIES FOR GRADUATES IN 2019
Information provided by IG Metall for the metal and electrical industries

Your annual pay matters!
Details are key: »Annual pay« is quite often understood differently, and the definition of it depends on the com-pany you will be working for and what you negotiate in the employment contract. Many companies pay twelve monthly pay packets, others grant an additional 13th pay packet. In companies bound by collective agree-ments there is also a performance bonus – an average of four to 15 percent of the pay depending on the col-lective agreement, as well as other collective benefits, such as holiday pay, special payments (Christmas bo-nus) and contributions to employee capital formation. In addition, »voluntary bonuses« can be paid. These should, however, be recorded in writing and – in the case of variable bonuses – be worded as precisely as possible.
From 2019, the new collective agreement on supplemental money paid as a one-off payment (TV T-ZUG) will apply in companies bound by col-lective agreements. The one-off payment (T-ZUG) consists of two parts: firstly, an amount of 27.5 percent of the individual average monthly pay, and secondly, a payment amounting to 12.3 per-cent of the base pay for skilled workers (EUR 400 in 2019). Certain employee groups, for example employees raising children or caring for relatives, now have a new option: under certain conditions, they can choose eight additional days off per year instead of the supplemental one-off pay-ment of 27.5 percent.
How much can you earn?
Starting salaries for graduates: Job tips and information
How much can you earn when starting your career? What do you need to consider when concluding an em-ployment contract? This is where IG Metall comes into play, providing you with information to get your career off to a good start.
What does »pay« mean?
A »fixed« portion of your pay is usually your set mon-thly salary plus additional payments such as perfor-mance bonuses, holiday pay, special payments and the like. If companies and employees are bound by a collective agreement, such benefits must be paid mandatorily. The situation is different if there is no co-verage and for exempt employees (AT-Angestellte/r): in this case, the benefits vary from company to company.
In general, promises made by companies, e.g. to provi-de a company car or a company mobile phone, are not guaranteed by the employment contract and can thus be changed unilaterally by companies.
Tip: We always recommend talking to the works council or local IG Metall experts.

Working time is crucial
In the metal and electrical industries, the 35-hour work week is considered normal for full-time employees. From January 1, 2019, employees working in the metal and electrical industries will be entitled to reduced full-time work under collective agreements. With this new regulation, employees can reduce their working week to a minimum of 28 hours for the duration of six to 24 months. After that, the normal 35-hour work week applies again automatically – alternatively, employees can continue to work reduced hours. To benefit from this arrangement, employees must have worked in the company for at least two years and have submitted a written request to the employer at least six months in advance.
With the concept of reduced full-time, IG Metall has en-forced the right of employees to return to full-time work. Employees can reduce their working hours according to their personal needs and return to a normal full-time work week later.
Why is working for a company bound by collective agreements beneficial?
In general, the remuneration level in companies bound by collective agreements is higher overall. The table below shows that engineers earn 18.5 percent more and economics graduates over 24.6 percent more than their counterparts in companies not bound by collective agreements. The IG Metall collective agreements also ensure a high level of pay dynamics for its members. In the first year after entering the labour market, remune-rations increase by an average of 10 percent without any additional individual negotiations. In addition to the increases due to the duration of employment there are regular pay rises after successful wage negotiations.
In principle, only unionised employees, i.e. IG Metall members in the metal and electrical industries, are entitled to collective bargaining benefits.

Source: www.lohnspiegel.de – WSI-Lohnspiegeldatenbank* The respondents have different working hours per week. For the calculation of monthly pay, the earnings data are broken down to an hourly wage. In a second step, the monthly pay is calculated based on 35 hours per week. The median value indicates that 50 percent of the respondents earn more and 50 percent earn less than this value. Database 2011/1 – 2017/05. In companies bound by collective agreements, the median value for engineers is EUR 53,800 and that of economists is EUR 52,898 per year. The median values in the table show that engineers earn 18.5 percent more and graduates of economics even 24.6 percent more than their counterparts in companies which are not bound by collec-tive agreements. Deviations in the table are due to rounding.
What else do I need to know?Wages differ from region to region; the company’s size also plays a role in determining wages. They tend to be higher in Western and Southern Germany than in Northern and Eastern Germany.
The following tables provide an exemplary overview of the typical annual remunerations for university gradua-tes in the metalworking industry when working for a company bound by collective agreements in an occupa-tion which corresponds with their education/training.

What should I consider when signing an employment contract? In principle, employment contracts can be negotiated freely. However, statutory minimum conditions must be observed. Company regulations are usually better - especially if they are laid down in collective agreements (see table on the left). If your company has concluded a collective agreement with IG Metall, for example, six weeks of holiday apply right away, instead of the statut-ory four weeks – in line with the collective agreement.
The employer may only offer a contract to a candidate who is exempt from a collective agreement if the job requirements are higher than those of the highest collectively negotiated pay category. The pay must be between 15 percent and 35 percent higher than the highest collectively agreed pay level, depending on the collective bargaining area.*
IG Metall has compiled all the important tips on employ-ment contracts in a guidebook. This guidebook is avail-able at your local IG Metall office and can be ordered online:
* The collective agreements of IG Metall for the metal and electrical industries in Baden-Württemberg do not distinguish between emp-loyees covered by collective agreements and those who are exempt. In practice, this means that all the regulations of collective agree-ments – including pay increases and working time regulations – apply to all employees in Baden-Württemberg.
