The boss demands a care bonus for all employees
“The way the care bonus is designed now is deeply unfair,” criticizes Birgit Huber, Managing Director of the DRK Clementinenhaus in Hanover. She demands that the bonus be paid to all employees.
Hanover. The managing director of the DRK hospital Clementinenhaus in der List, Birgit Huber, calls for a care bonus for all people working in the health care system for this year. “The way the care bonus is designed now, it is deeply unfair. Neither doctors nor cleaning staff, nobody from the operating room or the emergency room gets this bonus. Everyone was confronted with Corona,” says Huber.
It is paradoxical that many hospital employees do not request a bonus, while employees of members of the Bundestag receive flat-rate bonuses. Huber refers to the former nursing chamber president Nadya Klarmann, who had already complained about this grievance in 2020. In particular, nurses have been exposed to extraordinary stress for months, risking their own health, compensating for sick leave and working for many hours in full protective gear, regardless of whether they are caring for corona infected people, suspected cases or other patients.
