Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to state why I want to work part-time in my cover letter?
No, you are not required to give a reason. Focus on your qualifications and value instead. If desired, frame the part-time wish positively, e.g., 'I am confident I can fulfill the tasks efficiently and results-oriented in 25 weekly hours.'
What rights do I have in a part-time position?
Part-time employees in Germany have the same rights as full-time employees (pro rata) under the TzBfG: same hourly wage, same vacation entitlement (pro rata), same social benefits, right to training and promotion. Discrimination due to part-time status is prohibited by law.
Can I apply for a full-time position in part-time?
Yes, this is possible and increasingly accepted. Mention your part-time wish in the cover letter and suggest a specific number of hours. Since 2019, there is also the right to bridge part-time: temporary working hour reduction with the right to return to full-time (in companies with 45+ employees).
