German term
United States
Günstigkeitsprinzip
German to English
Law/Patents
Human Resources
context: employment contract
"Bei Sachverhalten, die nicht in Ihrem Dienstvertrag geregelt sind, werden die jeweiligen betrieblichen Regelungen angewendet. Bei konkurrierenden Festlegungen gilt das das Günstigkeitsprinzip."
I can pretty much figure what this means (though I don't know if the favorability should be skewed toward the employee or the employer), but was wondering if someone could give me a more or less "official" English equivalent.
TIA, Beth

employee benefit principle
From my Deutsches Rechtslexikon:
"nach diesem Prinzip geht im Arbeitsrecht eine rangiedere Regelung einer ranghoeheren grundsaetzlich vor, wenn sie fuer die betroffenen Arbeitnehmer guenstiger ist. Dies entspricht dem Zweck der meisten arbeitsrechtlichen Vorschriften, die Arbeitnehmer zu schuetzen. Fuer das Verhaeltnis gleichrangiger Vorschriften gelten dagegen Abloesungsprinzip und Spezialitaetsprinzip."
So the employee is given the benefit of any conflict (or doubt).

Actually, I would be inclined to call this \"the employee benefit rule.\" Principle works too, but this is really a rule.
