Reform of business law: Berlin is fighting for new civil servants!

On December 10, 2024, the Berlin Senate decided to make a comprehensive reform of business law, which is intended to make it easier to get started with the civil servant career in the capital. As part of this new regulation, performance -oriented promotions are made possible, regardless of the previous fixed service. This means that good performance will be decisive for promotion in the future, no longer the number of years in office, as rbb24 reported.

Finance senator Stefan Evers (CDU) said that this reform was necessary to take into account the demographic change, which will cause around two thirds of employees in the public service to retire by 2030. The aim of the changes is to make the public service for qualified specialists more attractive and to reduce existing hurdles, such as the ministerial official regulations, which affect the treatment of newcomers and inventors, as far as the employment and transportation is concerned, according to the press release of the Senate administration for finance .

important changes and goals

The reform provides for several central changes: future adjustment into higher civil servants for experienced professionals are now possible in order to open the door for qualified beginners from the free economy. The possibility of being promoted during the trial period was also created, which paves the way for fast career jumps. In addition, applicants without German citizenship can now enter the public service, which is intended to increase diversity among future civil servants, as has already been explained in the PEP 2030 personnel development program.

In addition, the requirements for the second entry -level office were made easier, and the new dual course of "administrative informatics" is included in the career regulation. This will significantly increase the attractiveness of the public service for specialists in the IT sector, which are urgently needed. With these measures, the Senate would like to ensure that the Berlin administration remains sustainable and is still able to offer the citizens optimal service.
