What else we offer

From 2025, defense employees will no longer receive holiday pay and year-end bonus as separate payments, but will accrue this monthly through the Individual Choice Budget (IKB). The IKB for defense employees amounts to a total of 16.33 percent of the salary.
With the IKB, defense employees can decide for themselves when, for what, and how much budget they spend on time, money, or tax facilities. This can be up to the monthly accrued budget.

The IKB can be used for:

• A maximum of 15 percent of the salary can be used monthly for the exchange of commuting allowances.
• The monthly difference between the allowance for commuting expenses and the tax maximum.
• A bicycle for personal use, including bicycle accessories and bicycle insurance.
• A computer that can also be used for work or study, including computer accessories and computer insurance.
• A battery or electrical components for a bicycle.
• The payment of union contributions.
• Defense expects to further expand the possibilities of the IKB in the future.

Special notes

• We are deployable worldwide for peace and security. Diversity in ways of thinking, perspectives, and qualities contributes to achieving our mission: “Protecting what is dear to us.” For this, we are explicitly looking for new colleagues who contribute to diversity within Defense.
• Defense is also committed to employing individuals who fall under the target group of the Employment Opportunities Act. If you are registered in the target group register, we also invite you to apply!
• Your application documents will be destroyed no later than three months after the completion of the selection procedure. This period is longer than the standard period prescribed by the General Data Protection Regulation. This longer period is necessary in case an objection and/or appeal procedure is initiated by an internal candidate.
• In accordance with internal procedures, employees with an employment contract with the Ministry of Defense will be considered first. If no suitable internal candidate can be selected, external interested parties will be considered.
