Base Salary

Since 2014, the assessment of the basic salary according to § 35 para. 4 of the Saxon Salary Act (SächsBesG) is carried out according to different levels. Thus, the basic salary rises at intervals of five years each of professorial periods of experience until the final stage is reached. Only the State Tax and Finance Office (LSF) decides about the classification of grades. When determining the level and its duration, a distinction is made between times that must be recognized (so called “Ist-Zeiten”) and times that are eligible (so called “Kann-Zeiten”). You can find further information here.

Variable benefits

According to § 36 of the Saxon Salary Law (SächsBesG) variable salary can be awarded in the salary grades W2 and W3:

• Appointment compensation packages | Recruitment payment
• Special Performance Bonuses | Incentive payor
• Functional performance bonuses.

The award of variable compensation is based on the “Sächsische Hochschulleistungsbezügeverordnung” of the 10^th January 2006, last amended by Article 25 of the Ordinance of the 16^th September 2014, in conjunction with the Technical Regulations of the TU Dresden on the procedure of the award of benefits as well as research and educational allowances from the 31^st July 2008.

Special scheme for pensions of benefit payments

According to new law, indefinite appointment and retention as well as special benefits up to 30% of the respective final basic salary can be declared as pensionable. In future, the retirement pay of these benefit receipts will no longer be legally required, but will require a corresponding declaration by the Rectorate of the TU Dresden.

Supply Information

A legal claim of the provision of a pension information was introduced with § 70 Sächsisches Beamtenversorgungsgesetz (SächsBeamtVG). This can generally be applied for in writing every three years as well as in the event of a metrial change in the legal and factual situation.
