Attractive remuneration

Good pay for good performance. We think this is only fair. The remuneration system is based on our company collective agreement, which offers a very attractive basic salary. The individual amount of your remuneration ultimately depends on the activities and responsibilities you undertake with us based on your expertise and experience.

35-hour week

The collectively agreed working time with us is 35 hours over a 5-day week. This leaves you more time each day for your private life and relaxation. After all, not only should it be possible theoretically to achieve a work-life balance, it should also be possible in reality. Not least because this also enhances health and well-being.

Flexible working

We want you to achieve a good work/life balance with us, which is why we offer numerous flexible working models. For example by facilitating flexitime, use of working time accounts or enabling people to work at variable times and in variable locations.


Mobile working

You can also agree a mobile working arrangement with your manager – for example working from home on fixed days. In accordance with statutory and collectively agreed regulations, you can organise your working hours freely in the period between 6 am and 10 pm.
