More money: Officials can look forward to wage increases

Officials waving once more a wage increase.

An adjustment for inflation and an increase should put money in their pockets.

Just?

That's how it's supposed to work.

Berlin – you are always the center of attention.

Because everyone would like to have what they have.

And because an "Otto Normal worker" does not enjoy the advantages that civil servants have according to popular belief.

It is not uncommon to say that civil servants get more money than others.

And that even though they work even less.

Now they are probably even more money: officials should get a tax-free inflation adjustment.

This applies to 2.5 million people who work as civil servants.

, among other things

, they should receive tax-free inflation compensation.

This is to be paid in several installments by February next year.

From March 1, 2024, the collective wages will be raised in a second step by a base amount of 200 euros and then increased by 5.5 percent.

The increase amount should reach at least 340 euros.

Inflation Compensation for Civil Servants: He Makes So Much More Money

The other basic data for the inflation compensation of the civil servants: The term should be 24 months.

Apprentices, students and interns should initially receive inflation compensation of 620 euros.

In addition, they should receive 110 euros per month from July 2023.

Most recently, three collective bargaining rounds had failed and an arbitration commission was set up.

With their help, the collective bargaining dispute in the public sector is to be ended.

And as a result of the proposal, civil servants will soon be in for a wage increase if an agreement is reached on at least 340 euros more in the public sector and 3,000 euros for inflation.

The fact that civil servants once again make a big plus in their salary, as provided for in the present proposal with inflation compensation and an increase, is "a fair balance of interests, for which a lot of money must of course be spent", explained the chairman of the arbitration commission, the Bremen administrative lawyer Hans-Henning Lühr, according to

.

As the

writes, 24 of the 26 members of the arbitration commission are said to have already approved the proposal, which provides for the following salary increase for civil servants:

• Clerk (A 8): 3145.99 euros = 373 euros wage increase

• Police commissioner (A 9): 3393.94 euros = 387 euros wage increase

• Teacher (Studienrat, A 13): 5276.57 euros = 490 euros wage increase

• Ministerialrat (A 16): 7145.22 euros = 593 euros wage increase

• Department director (B 3): 8919.75 euros = 691 euros wage increase

• District administrator (B 5): 10,034.23 euros = 751 euros wage increase

• Ministerial Director (B 9): 12,425.82 euros = 883 euros wage increase

• State Secretary (B 11): 15,074.80 euros = 1,029 euros wage increase

• Calculated according to salary levels A (level 4) and B

Civil servants get inflation compensation and increases: where do they still have advantages over employees?

Again a whole lot of money that beckons the officials as a salary increase.

And that, where civil servants have already received back payments in the near past, for which some were already ashamed.

Nevertheless, because of the distribution of money and certain privileges, which many perceive as unequal, officials will probably continue to have the stigma of being cheated in the future – including envy of certain privileges.

After all, civil servants ideally not only have a job for life, but also enjoy good pension benefits in retirement, while others have to make do with a small pension.

That, by the way, is the difference between annuity and pension.

Although the pension will increase in 2023, as a look at the table shows, and some people are thinking about pensions under palm trees, while in Germany the CDU wants to link the retirement age to life expectancy, the question remains: do civil servants actually live better than employees?

Can't be said in general.

newspaper came to this conclusion

in an analysis: civil servants, for example, receive their wages at the beginning of the month before they have already completed their work, but they receive less gross money than employees and in turn have fewer deductions.

Comparison between pensioners and pensioners: are retired civil servants better off than employees?

Among other things, civil servants – unlike employees – do not pay unemployment insurance, after all, their civil servant status does not threaten them with unemployment.

Although they have to pay for their private health insurance themselves, they are entitled to an allowance that covers at least 50 percent of the costs.

But: Special commitment or special expertise is not financially noticeable for civil servants.

Conversely, civil servants receive surcharges for marriage and children, but there is usually nothing for employees, states the

newspaper in its listing and comes to the conclusion that retired civil servants are financially much better off than pensioners.
