Berlin is looking to eliminate fixed-term contracts from its recruitment process
One of the provisions of the federal government’s coalition agreement aims to mitigate use of fixed-term contracts in the civil service which has the most recourse to these instruments in Germany. The Land government has concluded that many fixed-term contracts are in fact used as “extended trial periods” and now wants to offer its staff prospects for the future and to bolster the appeal of the jobs on offer.
