Higher salaries for university employees

Employees working under collective agreements in the federal states are to receive a 5.8 percent salary increase starting in April. This is the compromise negotiated by representatives of the federal states and the unions. Employees will receive at least €100 more per month in three stages. Junior staff will receive an additional €150. The unions are demanding that the agreement also apply to civil servants and pensioners. The state representatives rejected a collective agreement for student employees, but the minimum hourly wage will be increased to €15.20 from the 2026 summer semester and to €15.90 a year later.
