Tariff increase in the emergency services: 110 euros more from June 2025!

Oder-Spree, Deutschland - On June 17, 2025, the negotiation commission met for the collective bargaining in the Rescue Service Landkreis Oder-Spree. The aim of the session was to sharpen the strategies and to determine the next steps for ongoing negotiations. These will continue on July 22, 2025. At the TvöD 2025 income round, decisive wages were agreed, which for many employees represent a noticeable relief. From April 1, 2025, the fees will be raised by 3 percent, whereby at least 110 euros per month will land more in the employee's account. Trainees also benefit from the increase, which will also receive a monthly surcharge of 75 euros from April. These increases are paid out with the Juni billing, which is a sigh of relief, as the German Civil Service Bund dbb.

But these are not the only innovations that will come to the employees in the coming time. From 2027, an additional vacation day will be introduced for all employees, including trainees, dual students and interns. This increases the vacation entitlement to a total of 31 days. However, this is a "can" regulation, which means that employers are not obliged to introduce a long-term account. However, this option can be created in cooperation with the workshops or staff councils. Many employees open up the option to make their working hours more flexible.

long -term accounts and conversions

A hot -discussed topic are the long -term accounts that not only offer the possibility of saving overtime, but also playing a role in wage design. Here the co -determination follows the general regulations on the situation of working hours. It is of great importance that slide -on account accounts at the end of the compensation period have no negative or plus lessons that go beyond the regulated balance. Special regulations also apply to the annual special payment: from 2026, employees can convert parts of these into up to three additional days off. However, these days must be taken in the current year and there is no reduction in the annual special payment in the event of illness or urgent operational reasons.

A special challenge for employers and employees is the flexibility of working hours. You can voluntarily agree on an increase in regular working hours to up to 42 hours a week, whereby the increasing hours of differentiated surcharges apply: 25 percent in pay groups 1 to 9b and 10 percent in groups 9c to 15. A closer look at these regulations, which changes and opportunities you bring with you can help to make the negotiations positively. You can also find information on this at Verdi.
