Tesla is keeping a big secret about the working conditions of Gigafactory employees in Grünheide.

Now piquant details about the employment contracts came to light.

A job at Tesla has been within reach for German employees since it became known that the electric car manufacturer is building a new gigafactory in Germany.

However, frustration quickly spread among the first applicants * because the application process did not go as smoothly as some would have expected.

And the first details from the employment contracts do not exactly speak for ideal working conditions.

Employment contract at Tesla: car manufacturer obliges employees to remain silent

Tesla seems to put a good

"gag" on

its employees in Grünheide

when it comes to which details about the work at Tesla may be made public.

As the online portal

BusinessInsider

reports, employees should

face

severe contractual

penalties if they talk about Tesla internals with third parties or in public.

Even the simplest questions should not be answered, for example about starting work, your exact department or the duration of the application process.

This is evidenced by employment contracts of Tesla employees from Grünheide, which the

BusinessInsider has received

.

Such contracts are not illegal, but are

uncommon

in the

automotive industry

, reports the portal.

Anyone who violates the agreements faces a contractual penalty of

a

gross monthly salary

- for each violation.

That can get pretty expensive.

What is also known about the employment contract at Tesla:

  • The

    trial period

    is about 6 months.

  • Employees can be terminated within two weeks during the trial period.

  • Incomplete information in the personnel questionnaire can lead to the immediate termination of the employment contract.

Tesla violates Federal Labor Court ruling

The piquant thing about it:

Tesla violates a judgment of the Federal Labor Court in its employment contracts.

The ruling states: “Travel times that were required are to be paid for by the employer.” According to

BusinessInsider,

however, a clause in the Tesla employment contract states

: “Travel times that occur outside of regular working hours are not and

will not

be considered working hours

remunerated separately

".

Only a time cap on the remuneration, around four hours, would be okay - this is also common practice with other car manufacturers in Germany.
