Always well-informed The IG Metall app

Our IG Metall app offers you all the guides, news, and information on collective bargaining and the world of work, as well as the latest pay scales, services like the shift calendar, the overtime calculator, strike pay applications, and more. New: The digital membership card.

IG Metall-App auf dem Handy

New: Your membership card is now available digitally in the IG Metall app. 

Through our IG Metall app, members and interested parties can access the latest information on collective bargaining negotiations and an overview of current collective bargaining wages. You’ll never miss any news again: Push notifications keep you up to date at all times.

Registered users can also use their personal login to manage their personal information—such as their address, phone number, and email address—as well as enter or update their bank account information.

In the shift calendar ( tutorial here), members and interested parties can save various shift cycles and all common shift models. You can create your own shift types and have on-call shifts displayed in the calendar. Members can link the shift calendar to their personal calendar or have it sent to them via email.

Anyone who would like a shift calendar to print out on paper can download the easy-to-read planner.
