Tariff-based Future Payment
Your future – your tariff-based future payment
Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements have an entitlement to the tariff-based future payment: an additional annual benefit from Fresenius Medical Care, the amount of which is calculated based on your individual collectively agreed remuneration. You can find the list of participating companies here.
You can determine how your payment is used from year to year. You have five options to choose from.
If you make no selection, the tariff-based future payment will automatically be paid into the compensatory time account or - if you are not entitled to a compensatory time account, a payout is made.
