Short-time working, job loss, lower income: The economy is suffering from the Corona crisis – and with it many employees. Meanwhile, it looks completely different for some employees of the federal government and the cantons. As the “NZZ” reports, Due to the pandemic, there are sometimes considerable bonuses.
–
For example, officials from the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) could benefit from a corona premium – Of all things, the office that has caused negative headlines with various mishaps in the past few weeks. The BAG is currently clarifying whether the funds for extraordinary performance bonuses will be increased. And whether the upper limit for the bonuses paid to employees will be raised.

According to the current regulation, federal employees can receive bonuses of up to ten percent of their annual wages for “above-average performance” and “special assignments”. The bonuses are paid out at the end of the year.

BAG officials were extremely busy
The reason for the discussion about an increase in the feed is that the BAG employees were under great pressure during the crisis and the workload was very high. Many of the Office’s employees have been working hard in the past few months.
–
However: You can compensate for the overtime or, if necessary, are paid out. The workload was also high in other federal agencies – but there is no more money than usual for them. The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (Seco), the Federal Customs Administration and the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM), for example, inform the “NZZ” that no special corona premiums are planned.

Up to 5000 francs in the canton of Bern
Most of the cantons also deliberately refrain from spending more money on bonuses during the crisis. Exceptions are, for example, the cantons of Bern and St. Gallen. In the latter, the government increased the budget for extraordinary performance bonuses from CHF 700,000 to CHF 2.1 million in order to reward employees who are particularly hard-pressed. Among other things, employees of the canton medical service or the Office for Economy and Labor should benefit.

In Bern, the employees of the Health, Social and Integration Directorate enjoy a Corona boost. In a confidential decision, the government council decided that the budget for performance bonuses may be exceeded this year. The canton does not say by how much. The canton employees can expect a corona bonus of a maximum of CHF 5,000. (lha)
