It states that in two years, employees may not have been more often than six times sick, or have accumulated no more than 20 sick days.

if ( typeof AdController !== ‘undefined’ !window.Zeit.isMobileView()) { if ( !document.getElementById( ‘iqadtile8’ ) ) { var elem = document.createElement( ‘div’ ); elem.id = ‘iqadtile8’; elem.className = “ad ad-desktop ad-desktop–8 ad-desktop–8-on-article”; elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-type’, ‘desktop’); document.getElementById(‘ad-desktop-8’).parentNode.appendChild(elem); AdController.render(‘iqadtile8’); if ( window.console typeof window.console.info === ‘function’ ) { window.console.info(‘AdController ‘ AdController.VERSION ‘ tile 8 desktop’) } } } if ( typeof AdController !== ‘undefined’ window.Zeit.isMobileView()) { if ( !document.getElementById( ‘iqadtile3’ ) ) { var elem = document.createElement( ‘div’ ); elem.id = ‘iqadtile3’; elem.className = “ad ad-mobile ad-mobile–3 ad-mobile–3-on-article”; elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-type’, ‘mobile’); document.getElementById(‘ad-mobile-3’).parentNode.appendChild(elem); AdController.render(‘iqadtile3’); if ( window.console typeof window.console.info === ‘function’ ) { window.console.info(‘AdController ‘ AdController.VERSION ‘ tile 3 mobile’) } } }

The Swiss Post furr writes that employee may “cause at most two self-inflicted car accidents with a maximum damage of 5,000 euro”. Moreover, in three months, postmen may not have used more than 30 hours longer for ir tours than intended.

A spokesman for Deutsche Post confirmed group’s guidelines, but he spoke of a “responsible” Entfristungs policy: “The criteria take into account interests of company, which are balanced, comprehensible and based on objective features. Of customers and, of course, employees mselves and move in current legal framework. ” Over past year, Swiss Post has transferred around 9,000 temporary employment contracts to permanent contracts. The group did not want to inform on request how many employees have a fixed-term contract.

“These criteria are completely human-despising and immoral, and this is case with a company in which Federal Republic of Germany is involved,” says Beate Müller-Gemmeke, green spokesperson for workers ‘ rights. Peter Weiß (CDU), spokesman for Labour market policy and chairman of Union’s Workers ‘ group, also criticized entfristungs policy of Swiss Post: “A catalogue of criteria as it stands is a nonsense and human resources Department of a large company is unworthy.”
