With the service agreement on mobile working that came into force on 17 October 2022, administrative-technical staff, academic staff and auxiliary staff at the University of Kassel have the opportunity to work remotely. This option is intended to offer employees a modern and family-friendly way of working. The possibility of mobile working is intended to meet developments in the world of work and the desire of employees to make their work organisation more flexible. Among other things, it serves to improve the compatibility of work and family, strengthen personal responsibility, work motivation and job satisfaction and is intended to be an expression of a workplace culture characterised by trust and appreciation.
In addition, the flexitime service agreement has been in place since 2015. Staff participating in flexible working hours generally determine the start and end of their daily working hours themselves within the framework of the provisions.
