Favorability principle in labor law: What it means for employees. If there are two identical regulations, the better one applies to the employee.
A regulation mentioned in the collective or employment agreement as well as a company agreement may not be worse for the employee than legal regulations. If a company is bound to a collective agreement, these regulations are binding. It is important that only rules that have a factual connection can be compared. If this is not the case and the regulations are associated with different considerations, a comparison cannot be made.
