For permanent employees, part-time models are also possible: you can develop your part-time model in consultation with your CDC (Career Development Counselor) and in consideration of your project and adapt it as required. Define your working time model according to your personal needs and adapt your working hours to your current life situation. As a contract model, Family & More offers a guarantee of travel-free weekdays that are contractually fixed. Depending on the reduction of travel activities, your salary will be adjusted for a fixed period of time.
