Früher in Rente: Altersteilzeit - wer bei Quotenregelung Anspruch hat
Nach wie vor bieten viele Unternehmen Altersteilzeit-Regelungen für ihre Beschäftigten an. Nun landete ein Fall vor dem höchsten deutschen Arbeitsgericht. Es ging um eine Quote.
In Erfurt, the Federal Labour Court (9 AZR 164/25) ruled that quotas for workers with part-time retirement contracts should include non-union employees, according to the terms of Tarifverträge. The decision was based on a case brought by an employee from a food industry company in Rhineland-Palatinate. The court stated, "When calculating the quota, workers outside the scope of the collective agreement who have used part-time retirement should be included."
The plaintiff sought to ensure his eligibility for part-time retirement, even though the company had already met the quota of 2.5 percent of employees with such contracts. He argued that the so-called overload quota was not met because only union members were included in the calculation. However, his case was unsuccessful. His employer argued that part-time retirement contracts should be considered for non-union employees as well.
Ultimately, the employer was granted the right to apply the collective agreement he signed with the Nahrung-Genuss-Gaststätten (NGG) union to all employees of the company.
