Abstract: The paper presents remuneration schemes with that industrial companies adept to respond to demographic change and manage the internal consequences. In selected sectors (construction and furniture industries) and based on a three-year empirical research project examples of a demographically sensitive remuneration policy are presented. Based on qualitative case studies, exemplary answers to the questions prove which payment methods and wage forms are applied in industrial reality, which job classification criteria (qualifications and job requirements etc.) play a role for the management of demographic change and the importance that incentive systems and the underlying performance criteria might play in the future. In the case studies we identify a wide range of specific measures including wage guarantees for older members of the workforce, the continued granting of supplements following in-house job changes or even team-internal compensation mechanisms – all elements of remuneration models with seniority characteristics based on work experience which had already been declared “dead”.
