Minimum standards

In the largely liberated postal services market, PostCom has specified minimum standards for working conditions that have entered into force on 1 January 2019. These minimum standards protect employees against wage dumping who do not benefit from protection afforded by a collective employment agreement. They also have to facilitate market access for new service providers. The involved social partners may also negotiate other conditions.

Ordinance (in German)

Verordnung der Postkommission über die Mindeststandards für die Arbeitsbedingungen im Bereich der Postdienste (VMAP) vom 30. August 2018
