The Employment Certificate Government (Arbeitszeugnis) is a mandatory document in the German public sector, required whenever a civil servant or public employee concludes their service with a government institution. This document is governed by German civil service law and various federal and state regulations, including the Federal Civil Service Act and state-specific public service laws. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the employee's service period, evaluating their performance and conduct, and providing an official record for future employment. The certificate must follow strict formatting and content guidelines, using standardized language and assessment criteria specific to public service. Unlike private sector certificates, government employment certificates must also consider specific public service grades, career paths, and performance evaluation systems. The document is particularly important as it affects future career opportunities within the public sector and serves as an official record of government service.
