Only every second employee in Germany gets holiday pay. And the chances of that are distributed in anything other than equal: women go more often empty than men. Workers in the West are more likely than workers in the East. And also the size of the operation and the question of collective bargaining play a decisive role, as the WSI collective bargaining archive of the Union-affiliated Hans-Böckler-Stiftung, as determined on the basis of an Online survey of more than 123 000 employees.
The greatest chances of a holiday money have trained according to Thorsten, head of the WSI collective bargaining archive, the Employees in the tariff-bound companies. Around 69 percent of them receive according to the survey, a salary subsidy for the holidays. For comparison: In the case of employees, for which no collective agreement applies, it is only 36 percent.
