Operating schedule of the Employment and Family Fund for holidays in the public realm
During the holiday season, some adjustments may be made to the operating hours of employment agencies and career information centers in the Bergisches Land region of Germany. While specific arrangements can vary, here are some general points to consider.
General Information

- Holiday Operations: During national holidays, such as Christmas, Easter, and New Year's Day, these services are generally closed. The specific holiday schedule can vary by region and specific agency.
- Special Arrangements: Some agencies might provide special services or alternative contact methods during holidays, especially if they are critical to the public, but this is more common for emergency services than employment agencies.
