Softwarehersteller: Sicherheit bis Ende 2028: SAP verlängert Beschäftigungssicherung

Düsseldorf - Rumors of SAP laying off employees are circulating within the software giant's offices and break rooms. However, according to German sources, employees in Germany have no urgent cause for concern. The DAX company has agreed to a new employment security deal with the Works Council, according to Handelsblatt. This extends the current arrangement until the end of 2028.

For the German sales unit, a similar agreement is currently being negotiated. The old regulation is set to expire at the end of the year. Daniel Müller, SAP Germany's Head of Personnel, and Nathalie Boulay, Chair of the SE Works Council, announced the agreement in a joint email to the workforce on Thursday. The letter, which has been seen by Handelsblatt, stated: "Even in times of transformation, we want to maintain a work environment that offers stability, fairness, and prospects."

Under the agreement, SAP must offer positions in other divisions of the company and provide training for new tasks to affected employees during reorganizations. The salary level is to remain unchanged even in reassignments.
