Only two rounds of negotiations were necessary to perfect the collective bargaining agreement for the public service.
The degree in Hesse could serve as a blueprint for the ongoing talks between the collective bargaining community of the federal states.
Dietzenbach - Public service workers in Hessen get more money.
At the second round of negotiations in Dietzenbach (Offenbach district), the state of Hesse and the trade unions agreed on a gradual increase in salaries for the 45,000 state employees with a total volume of 4.0 percent, as the Interior Ministry announced on Friday.
In addition, there are special payments totaling 1000 euros.
The term of the collective agreement is 28 months.

More money planned for pregnancy conflict counseling
A list with the locations and sponsors of all funded agencies in Hesse for advice on pregnancy and pregnancy conflicts is to be made publicly available in the future.
This provides for the amendment of the corresponding state law, which the Hessian state parliament debated on Tuesday in the first reading in Wiesbaden.
Minister of Social Affairs Kai Klose (Greens) also announced an increase in the flat rate funding for the independent institutions and an increase in the flat rate per case.

Interior Minister Peter Beuth (CDU) spoke of difficult negotiations.
However, a fair compromise and a decent result had been found in economically difficult times.
Verdi negotiator Christine Behle also described the collective bargaining agreement as a good compromise.
There is no real loss of wages for the employees.
The collective bargaining result stipulates that salaries will rise by 2.2 percent from August next year.
A further increase of 1.8 percent is planned from August 2023.
In addition, there are two special payments of 500 euros each for public service employees for the current and the coming year.
Verdi, together with other unions, went into negotiations with the demand for five percent more money, but at least 175 euros.
Before the crucial talks, there had been protests across the country for several days.
Several thousand people took part.
The biggest campaigns were in Wiesbaden, Kassel, Gießen and Darmstadt.
In 2004, Hesse was the only federal state to leave the collective bargaining association of the federal states (TdL) and has been negotiating independently since then.
In the meantime, the other federal states have also started the collective bargaining round with the unions.
After the last collective bargaining round, the approximately 45,000 employees in the state of Hesse gradually received eight percent more money.
