The officials in Berlin should work longer in the future to reduce the financial burdens of the city. The Senate plans to increase working hours from 40 to 42 hours a week. This measure is intended to bring savings in the millions and contribute to stabilizing the household.

The Association of Officials reacts concerned to this announcement and sees it an unfair burden on the public service employees. He calls for transparent communication on the part of the Senate and a fair compensation for the additional working hours. In addition, the association emphasizes the important role that the officials play for the functioning of the city of Berlin and demands an appropriate appreciation of their work.

It is expected that negotiations between the Senate and the Civil Service Association will be managed intensively in the coming weeks. It remains to be seen which solutions are found in relation to the increase in work and how the interests of the officials can be adequately taken into account.

Similar measures to relieve households have already been implemented in other federal states. It remains to be observed how the Situation in Berlin develops and whether the planned increase in work will actually bring the desired savings. The discussion about the working hours of the officials will continue to be the focus of the political and social discussion.
