All benefits

The Federal Administrative Court, based in St. Gallen, deals with complaints against decisions of federal authorities. The majority of its rulings are final, and only a minority of those appealable to the Federal Supreme Court are further pursued. The high acceptance of its rulings is mainly due to the high quality and appropriate processing time. For this purpose, it offers its employees state-of-the-art workplaces, flexible working time models and a trilingual working environment.
