Tarifverhandlungen: Banker fordern Anspruch auf den Kauf zusätzlicher Urlaubstage
In den anstehenden Tarifverhandlungen fordern die Bankangestellten nicht nur KI‑Ausgleichstage. Auch bis zu zehn zusätzliche Urlaubstage sollen bei Gehaltsverzicht möglich sein.
Frankfurt - The Deutsche Bank employees' association (DBV) aims to secure the right to purchase additional vacation days as part of the upcoming tariff negotiations for the private banking sector. According to Wolfgang Ermann, the DBV negotiation leader for private banks, having the option to buy vacation days would give individuals the freedom to decide whether they need more money or more time in a given year.
The specific request pertains to an annual right to acquire up to ten extra vacation days, which, the union claims, would complement salary increases as a voluntary choice for employees. While a higher salary remains the primary expectation for most staff, many might prefer the option to acquire additional free time if financial resources allow.
Comparable "time-for-money" models have already been established in parts of Germany's financial sector, such as for employees of the Postbank or the DZ-Bank group. Tariff negotiations for the private banking sector are set to commence on October 8th, covering employees at institutions like the Deutsche Bank and the Commerzbank.
