The TVöD/TV-L remuneration system

Basic seminar

This training is held in German.
The collective bargaining law of the public sector contains complex pay regulations on the constant monthly pay components, the non-permanent pay components, continued pay during vacation and illness as well as one-off payments. Sound basic knowledge is necessary in order to know the scope of the TVöD (VKA/Bund)/TV-L (e.g. with regard to step allocation, advance payment of remuneration). In the training , all pay regulations of the TVöD (VKA/Bund)/TV-L - from table pay to allowances and supplements, remuneration for on-call and standby duty through to the annual special payment - are presented comprehensively and in a practical manner using numerous examples. Attention is also paid to the duration of continued remuneration in the event of illness.

Questions from the participants

Learning environment

Once you have registered, you will find useful information, downloads and extra services relating to this training course in your online learning environment.

Your benefit

Public sector collective bargaining law is subject to constant change. This is due, on the one hand, to new collective agreements and, on the other hand, to case law (e.g. from the Federal Labor Court), which specifies the collective bargaining regulations.

  • The training provides you with a systematic and comprehensive overview of the current pay regulations of the TVöD (VKA/Bund)/TV-L. Previous knowledge of collective bargaining law is not required.
  • You will learn how the remuneration of employees is made up and develops.
  • The effects of periods of absence (e.g. vacation, illness, pension due to reduced earning capacity) are also presented.
  • Regulations of the TVÜ [transitional regulations of the change from BAT/BAT-O etc. to TVöD/TV-L (2005/2006)] are presented - insofar as they are still of practical importance today - with the necessary background information and examples. However, new regulations are constantly being agreed in the TVÜ, which are also presented.
  • The respective collective bargaining regulations are explained in detail using practical examples.
  • Important current decisions from case law are explained in an easily understandable way.
