Early closure of the AHA job center: Please understand!
Playing with the opening times: The AHA District Soest job center will close early on Thursday, November 6th, 2025. The branches in Werl and Soest close at 9 a.m., while the locations in Warstein and Lippstadt remain unaffected by this measure. The management asks citizens to understand the early closure and assures that the availability of the InfoHotline remains unchanged - the number is 02921/106-500 and can be reached from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. On Friday, November 7th, all locations will be available again as usual. This reports presse-service.de.
The job center also has some changes to its opening hours for the upcoming holidays. The job center is open on the following days:
- Montag, 23. Dezember

- Montag, 30. Dezember
The opening times on these days are from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. However, the Lippstadt, Warstein and Werl locations will remain closed on these public holidays.

Support in difficult times
Another aspect that is currently important to many is the issue of short-time working benefits. Anyone who finds themselves in this challenging time should know that a maximum of 12 months of short-time work benefits can be received, although this time does not have to be taken all at once. For example, interruptions are also possible - i.e. two months of normal salary followed by a short phase with short-time work benefits. If you plan an interruption of 3 months or more, the counting starts again for the maximum 12 months. It is also possible to apply for short-time work benefits for a total of 24 months until the end of 2025. This information provides employment agency.de.
