Corona Lockdown extended: months of standstill threatens in Germany

The officials in Berlin should work longer according to a current proposal. This change could mean that officials have to work up to 41 hours a week, in contrast to the previous 40 hours. However, the Association of the Officials points out that this can lead to a considerable additional burden on the employees.

The proposal for the extension of working hours for civil servants is part of a broader debate about working conditions in the public service. While some argue that longer working hours are necessary to meet the challenges of our time, others warn of the potentially negative effects on the health and job satisfaction of the civil servants.

The Association of Officials has announced that it will work against the extension of working hours. Instead, he calls for a better work-life balance for the employees and emphasizes the importance of reasonable rest periods and recreational options.

It remains to be seen how the debate about working hours for civil servants will continue in Berlin and which measures are ultimately taken to adequately take into account the interests of the employees. The decision will have far -reaching effects on the public service in Berlin and could also serve as a model in other federal states.
