Abstract

Since 2015, and for the first time in history, there has existed a statutory minimum wage in Germany. This is additional to the collectively agreed wages and salaries and several generally binding sectoral minimum wages. Based on the WSI’s low-wage-monitoring, this article analyses the interplay between these three instruments of wage setting. The majority of collectively agreed wages is by far above the minimum wage. In some sectors, the bargaining parties adopted the agreed wages before the statutory minimum wage was introduced. In some cases the structure of the lower wage grades was strongly compressed. It remains open which wage setting pattern will prevail in the different sectors: agreed wages well above the minimum wage, agreed wages near to the minimum wage or no active collective bargaining on low wages at all.
