By the term job center (JC) one understands the organizational pool of the work agencies and the in a common mechanism. The pool was suggested by the Hartz commission and converted by the German Federal Government in the context of the Hartz concept in the second law for modern services at the job market. The job center is responsible for the application of the social legislation II (SGB II) and thus for the disbursement unemployment pay of the II and the integration of these unemployed persons and job seekers in work.

Organization

There are three models of co-operation:

• Municipalities and agencies for work form working groups (ARGEn) in the majority of the cases, which again job centers furnish.
• In the so-called option model testweise 69 circles and circle-free cities can convert the SGB II independently without the agencies for work.
• In few other cases the municipalities and the agencies did not agree on the formation of job centers and to furnish their achievements next to each other. The agencies responsible for the integration in the general job market and the contribution of the rule need and the municipalities are for the costs of the accommodation.

Support of (long-term) unemployed persons

All employable unemployed persons, who received so far unemployment relief or social welfare assistance, get the unemployment pay II (ALG II) starting from 1 January 2005. These persons became to date either from the labour office (with unemployment relief purchase) or from the Sozialamt of of the respective municipality (with social welfare assistance purchase) cares for.

Since that time for it the job centers are responsible. There the unemployment pay ii-receivers are cared for and advised by drop managers and work mediators (so-called personal partner or PAPs) with the search for employment. For the disbursement of the ALG II the with the program A2LL is responsible. In the input area the requests are received and assigned.

Unemployed persons, who receive excluding achievements from the unemployment insurance, thus unemployment pay I (ALG I), become further from vocational advisers and - mediators in the agency for work cares for. If additionally in addition, only one of the members of the need community (BG) receives ALG II to the ALG I still, then all members of the BG are cared for by the JC.

Doubt

Quite

The formation of the working groups possibly offends against the condition.

An appraisal of the scientific service of the federal daily informs that a "execution is not intended by Federals law by common mechanisms of federaldirect bodies of the public right and administrative mechanisms of the countries". Article 83 GG regulates the execution of the Federals law: "The countries implement the Federals law as own affair, so far this Basic Law nothing else certainly or permit."

If the federation accomplishes the laws, this can by "federaldirect bodies of the public right" (article 87 GG), as e.g. take place the federal agency for work.

If the working groups are however not condition conformal, then that could mean that the decisions are quite adverse.

Organization

First it could be assumed that during a pool of two achievements also from two authorities one becomes. In reality a third achievement and authority developed.

Also administrativepolitically this pool is precarious. Two different administrative cultures meet one another with the work agencies and While the federal agency for work is a hierarchically arranged federal authority with an instruction character, the municipalities are politically independent units and within its field of application the federation opposite do not instruction-bind directly. Besides the mayors - differently than the director/conductor of the agencies for work - are selected. It is to be feared thus that the working groups become the stage for political arguments of the municipalities with the federation. The goal of making the administration more effective cannot be achieved thereby.
