Usually, job or contract terms are the same; only the pay structure differs, excluding differences in work nature. If companies have a style of 'management by difference,' they might use individual contracts, but work and performance management are in favor of the organization and professional growth as a whole and from a long-term perspective.

Collective agreements may be applicable to groups following the same terms with the employer.

Why are managers and professional employees typically covered by individual contracts rather than by collective agreements?

Managers and professional employees are covered by individual contracts for the following reasons:

- Different job profiles
- Pay structure according to market conditions
- Different terms and conditions of employment come into force as per the requirements.

Collective agreements are made for a set of employees who do the same kind of work, like workers in a factory. Management would prefer to negotiate wages as a whole rather than with individuals.

Namaskar. And so I am talking something else-horizontal working culture sans jealousy. I think, such a practice yet to come. regards

Hi Prinzessin,

I too agree with what Rajat said. It is because in a company, different individuals have different jobs, job profiles, and designations. Additionally, it also depends on the culture. It may not be transparent, due to which collective agreements are not always possible to implement.
