  Different phases of life require customised working time models - whether during parental leave or for other private reasons. You can organise your working hours flexibly, taking into account your everyday working life. Sabbatical? That's also possible! Of course, we also make mobile working possible. PLATH offers 30 days' holiday per calendar year. Or you can sell or buy holiday days.

• PLATH's central location in Hamburg's City South guarantees perfect bus and train connections. The Hammerbrook and Berliner Tor stops are just a few minutes' walk away. Commuters by car can use the free car parks in the area or rent a fixed parking space nearby at a fair price.
• Other members of the PLATH Group may not be quite as central, but offer free parking directly at the company.

We provide the appropriate technology for working from home or on the move.  You can also develop your career while working from home. The working hours are flexible and your work and private life are in balance. We also offer hybrid working. And of course this also applies to PLATH AG and other companies in the Group.

We offer 30 days' holiday and flexible working time models as well as the purchase and sale of holiday days

At PLATH AG:

• Paid days off between Christmas and New Year

• Allowances for childcare costs

  Applies only to PLATH AG: extra-mandatory child allowances - and for the accommodation and care of non-school-age children in kindergartens or comparable facilities, there is a kindergarten allowance that is exempt from tax and social security contributions.

• Germany ticket vs. petrol vouchers, subsidies for rail and car drivers

  Only applies to PLATH AG:

• Cost sharing for public transport, free parking spaces

  PLATH has two aces up its sleeve so that our colleagues can optimise their journey to work in their own individual way: Bus and train drivers can subscribe to an HVV-ProfiTicket, while car drivers can support their journeys with petrol vouchers. Both options are subsidised by PLATH on a monthly basis.

• Pluxee restaurant passes

  Every colleague has the opportunity to purchase 15 restaurant passes per month. These can be redeemed on working days wherever a sticker is displayed at the entrances to restaurants, bistros or supermarkets, for example.

• Regular subsidised in-house massages
• Mental health coaching from an external provider (Fürstenberg Institute) (applies also at PLATH AG)

Regular in-house massage appointments loosen up our necks and backs in no time at all. PLATH supports this relaxation with a financial contribution. Height-adjustable desks and ergonomic chairs provide additional comfort.

Our colleagues are regularly invited to preventive medical check-ups by our company medical practice, which has branches in three districts of Hamburg. If, for example, an eye examination reveals that you need special VDU glasses, we will cover the costs for you.

If you are unable to make it to the pharmacy, take advantage of the free delivery service including a regular customer discount at a pharmacy close to Gotenstrasse in Hamburg. This pharmacy offers the special service of delivering medication to your workplace within 4 hours.

On our corporate benefits platform, well-known providers make their products and services available at special conditions. The advantage for our colleagues is that they receive significant discounts on high-quality products and services. New providers and offers are added to the portfolio of attractive offers every month.

PLATH also gives you the opportunity to register with car sharing providers free of charge. New providers and offers are added to the portfolio of attractive offers every month.

Alternatively, every colleague has the opportunity to take advantage of our company fitness programme via Urban Sports Club (either the M or L package), which is subsidised by PLATH to the tune of €20 per month. Further information and registration can be found here: Urban Sport Club x PLATH.

We offer you many different ways to harmonise your work and private life. For everyone, flexibility for individual lifestyles, personal needs and family requirements means something different - a flexible home office model or parental leave for young mothers and fathers, for example. We support you in organising your individual working hours to give you space and valuable time for your private life. Because we are convinced that those who enjoy working live better. And vice versa.

Letting go for a while - so that you can return to the company - that's the trust we place in everyone. A personally enriching time during a sabbatical is a win-win situation, and you return to your job full of energy and motivation.
