Collective agreements are normative agreements concluded by the social partners: employers or employers’ organisations and trade unions setting out the terms and conditions which should be satisfied by contracts of employment (normative provisions of the collective agreement), rights and obligations of the parties to a collective agreement (obligating provisions of the collective agreement) and other obligations of an employer to a group of workers (provisions included in a so called “third” part of the collective agreement). Collective agreements are negotiated acts of individual and collective labour law. Regulation of the contents of individual labour law through collective agreements is an alternative method of lawmaking. It guarantees better compliance of the social partners with the standards established as a result of the social dialogue
