This instruction implements AFPD 36-7, Employee and Labor-Management Relations, and contains
explanations and instructions for the implementation of various provisions of the Collective Tariff Agree-
ment (CTA II). It also outlines conditions of employment established outside CTA II by agreement
between the US Forces and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF).
The instruction applies to all civilian employees of US Forces and DoD elements in Germany who are
administered by a USAFE Civilian Personnel Flight (CPF), and whose employment conditions are regu-
lated by the CTA II or an individual employment agreement related thereto. Overtariff conditions of
employment established in the following chapters constitute joint US Forces policy developed and agreed
to by the Civilian Personnel Coordinating Committee for Germany under the provisions of the CTA II.
Overtariff conditions are either for mandatory application or optional use as prescribed in the appropriate
chapter. Unless specified otherwise, authority for approval of optional conditions will rest with the Air
Force commander delegated authority for civilian personnel administration (AFI 36-102/USAFE Supple-
ment 1, Basic Authority and Responsibility for Civilian Personnel), herein after referred to as the respon-
sible installation commander. Make decisions by applying the principle of equal treatment for employees
who are in a comparable situation and qualify under the same requirements. Civilian Personnel Offices
(CPO) will promptly inform International Personnel (HQ USAFE/DPCI) of problems encountered or
anticipated in the application of negotiated employment conditions or implementing instructions con-
tained in this instruction to avoid interpretations that are in conflict with the original intent. In particular,
this will apply when management actions based on CTA II or this instruction are challenged in litigations
before German labor courts. This instruction prescribes USAFE Form 199, Employee Inquiry; USAFE
Form 201, Application for Employment with the U.S. Air Forces in Germany/ Anstellungsbewerbung mit
