What we keep in focus
We translate dense employment language into decisions you can take into a meeting — without promising outcomes we cannot control.
Schedules that hold
Distribution of hours, on-call edges, and documentation habits that keep temporary arrangements from becoming permanent confusion.
Calm employer briefings
Optional manager-facing notes so HR and team leads share one vocabulary when reviewing a Teilzeit request.
“The Hours Distribution Map in the Studio showed me where my contract was silent — that silence was the real risk, not the reduced days.”
Useful, though I still needed my Betriebsrat for the final filing. Devstorage Core never pretended otherwise.

Questions people leaders can ask before approving or delaying a part-time plan.
Temporary reduction traps we see often
End dates, review meetings, and the drift that turns “six months” into forever.
