Wage flexibility is often considered to be caused by the highly regulated labor market and the rigid system of labor law existing in Germany, especially in the field of wage determination. In this paper the impact of existing labor agreements on incentive systems in Germany is analyzed. It shows, that the centralized and dense web of regulations within the German system of industrial relations interferes with the flexibility of incentive systems. Most of the existing regulations, which still stem from the era of a stable industrial society, do not match the needs of today's highly competitive global markets. The resulting problems can be solved either by the social partners themselves, who could reform existing agreements and find new regulations that meet the current needs, or by the state, which could set constraints for collective agreements
