The introduction of the partial board and the adaptation of the legal requirements for the corridor pension are welcome, “but not sufficient”. “The positive effects of a higher legal retirement age for the economy but also for the state budget are evident,” said Neumayer.
IV sees a negative, as it is proposed by Schumann, the industry -dependent quota that concerns the hiring of older workers: “That would be another measure that the companies, of which many are fighting for survival anyway.
The IV also sees the proposal that companies would have to do part-time employees in the event of overtime or full-time: “Neither companies nor the employees would bring something sustainable.
