The German trade union ver.di achieved a result for employees of the Lander after several rounds of negotiations. According to the new agreement, the 1.1 million employees of the federal states (except Hesse) will receive a tax-free payment according to the Covid regulations in the amount of €1,300 at the beginning of 2022. Apprentices, trainees and students are to receive a €650 tax-free payment at the same time. On 1 December 2022, wages will be increased by 2.8%. As of December 2022, apprenticeship pay and trainee/student allowances will therefore increase by €50 or by €70 in the health care system. The term of the collective agreement is 24 months.
