On March 22, Deutsche Telekom (DT) and the administration of the Land of Saarland signed a cooperation agreement for the temporary employment of 26 employees from Vivento Interim Services, a DT subsidiary, notably to help implement the new telecommunications system of the Saarland police.

The wages paid by Vivento’s clients are lower than that of these employees, many of whom kept the status of civil servant they had before the privatization, so Deutsche Telekom pays for the difference.
