GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Betriebsvereinbarung
English translation:works agreement

Law/Patents - Human Resources / employment law
German term or phrase: Betriebsvereinbarung
Not happy with glossary search ("works contracts" "company deals"). Think in this context that it probably means employee contracts standardized within the company.

[Die unternehmerische Freiheit der Personalplanung u. des Personaleinsatzes ist durch die umfassende Gesetzgebung und den Einfluss der Rechtsprechung begrenzt.] Ein sorgfältiges Vertragsmanagement and der gezielte Einsatz von kollektiven Regelungsinstrumenten, wie z.B. *Betriebsvereinbarungen* oder Haustarifverträgen, eröffnen die Möglichkeit, den verbleibenden Spielraum effektive zu nutzen and betriebsnahe Lösungen umzusetzen.

company policy (policies)


Explanation:
although policy usually does not cover compensation and in your case the "oder Haustarifvertraege" implies that compensation aspects should be covered in this paragraph.
