With a population of currently 8.512 and a surface of close to 18 km 2 , the municipality of Bertrange is certainly one of the smaller communities in Luxembourg. By no means small, however, is the annual budget available to the mu- nicipality, amounting to € 40 million for 2021 for budgeted and current expenditure, plus a further € 30 million for special and unexpected expenses. As a very pleasant and dynamically growing community, the municipality of Bertrange offers its inhabitants a high quality of life, which is reflected wherever you go: modern and up-to-date municipal infrastructure in all areas of the town, such as kindergartens, school complexes, sports and cultural facilities, public parks and other municipal institutions – everything well maintained and visually ap- pealing. To name just two examples: the cultural centre “ArcA – Musek a Konscht”, housing a music school and serving as a major venue dedicated to music and art, is perfectly suited for the performance of young and professional mu- sicians as well as for exhibitions and receptions. Or the inter-communal aquatic and wellness centre “C.N.I. Les Thermes” of Strassen and Bertrange, a stunning futuristic architectural centrepiece that was inaugurated in 2009. In order to meet the demanding requirements of the mu - nicipality, qualified personnel are needed, not only for the proper administrative tasks, but also for the operation of the numerous municipal facilities. In addition to the qua - lified administrative staff, a large number of employees are engaged by the municipality of Bertrange, e. g. nursery-school teachers, pedagogues, technical staff working at the municipal building yard, maintenance staff, cleaning personnel, etc. The entire workforce of the municipality is permanently employed, in other words municipal services are not outsourced, but entirely per- formed by the municipality’s own employees. Given the complexity of the prevailing working time pat- terns, overtime and holiday accounting and a relatively high proportion of part-time employees, the municipality of Bertrange had decided years ago to implement an elec- tronic time recording system. “Small but excellent” – a description that perfectly fits the municipality of Bertrange, located in the southwest of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, close to the French border.
