We examine part-time positions and home office whenever possible. Those who prefer to work 42 instead of 41 hours per week have one more week of vacation as a result. We also offer additional days off. Families - our future We invest in families and support them, among other things, with extended maternity and paternity leave. In addition, we grant 2 weeks of pre-birth leave. And besides the statutory child allowances, there is also a maintenance allowance with us. Equal and greater opportunities In the Biel city administration, there is equality of opportunity and pay. The personal development of our employees is important to us so that they also have good opportunities on the labor market in the future. For this reason, we invest in internal and external training and further education. We think ahead Our pension fund benefits are excellent. Many people do not necessarily think about this point during their working life. We do. We have a low entry threshold and the coordination deduction is already dependent on the degree of employment. The federal parliament is still discussing it - we have already implemented it. We also cover 60 % of the contributions. Support in difficult situations We look closely and take responsibility. Our external confidential counseling center is available anonymously for all concerns of our employees. We cover 65 % of the daily allowance insurance contributions and our case management advises and accompanies people from the beginning to the end of a challenging situation. À la Biennoise We naturally live bilingualism in everyday life. Our employees speak either German or French and improve their respective language skills in the other language quite incidentally. The City of Biel lives from its diversity. All people are welcome with us. We use our diversity and complement each other. We have a lot to offer Here you will find our attractive employment conditions with numerous advantages and benefits. Perhaps you or you will soon belong to the team of the City of Biel!
