Part of Tamedia's editorial team goes back to short-time work
Some Tamedia employees are returning to reduced-hour work. Starting in March, the Mantel editorial team and Editorial Services—including proofreading, layout, and photography—will resume working reduced hours. Das Magazin and the SonntagsZeitung are already on reduced-hour work.
In contrast, the local editorial offices of Tamedia newspapers, i.e. those at Tages-Anzeiger, Confederation, Berner-Zeitung, Basel Newspaper and the Zurich regional newspaperswhich include, among others, the Winterthur Country Messenger and the Zurichsee-Zeitung include.
Employees were informed of the reintroduction of short-time work at an online meeting on Wednesday. A Tamedia spokeswoman confirmed the information.
Continued full pay
All employees on short-time working will continue to receive full wage compensation from the company. For the time being, short-time work is limited until the end of March. However, in view of the continuing uncertain economic situation, the situation will have to be reassessed on an ongoing basis, the spokeswoman said. The first phase of short-time work at Tamedia lasted from spring 2020 until the end of November. (SDA)
