University hospitals: Doctors get more pay despite working fewer hours. Doctors at university hospitals receive ten percent more pay and at the same time have to work two hours less per week.

The collective bargaining association of German states (TdL) and the Marburger Bund medical association have agreed on this. According to the compromise, salaries will rise in a first step by four percent on April 1, 2024 and in a second step by six percent next year. In addition, the average weekly working time will be reduced from 42 to 40 hours - without any further reduction in salary.
