Document background
The Sales Manager Contract is essential for companies operating in Germany who wish to employ sales management professionals in a legally compliant manner. This document serves as a comprehensive employment agreement that combines standard German employment terms with specific provisions for sales management roles. It should be used when hiring new sales managers or promoting existing employees to sales management positions. The contract includes mandatory written terms required by German law, detailed commission structures, performance metrics, and management responsibilities. It ensures compliance with various German regulations including the Civil Code (BGB), Commercial Code (HGB), and data protection laws, while protecting both employer and employee interests in the sales context. The document is particularly important as it addresses unique aspects of sales management such as territory rights, customer relationships, and commission-based compensation within the framework of German employment law.
