Germany - Agreement for temporary workers - March 31, 2024

The approximately 700,000 employees in the temporary employment sector will get a pay increase from October 2024. The DGB unions and the General Association of Personnel Service Providers (GVP) have agreed that wages will rise by a total of 7.6% in two stages.
