• Message class: HRPBSDEDNEUG - Dienstrechtsneuordnungsgesetz - DneuG

• Message number: 016

• Message text: Payment amount of level 5+ in salary groups A7 to A12

If an assignment to level 5 is made during the transfer of a civil
servant in a salary group from A7 to A12, this is first applied
normally. From the time that a change to the next level would occur
according to the previous basic salary system according to salary
seniority (BDA), the civil servant then receives the (higher) salary of
the transfer level 5+.
An assigment to level 5+ is therefore made for salary group &V2& as of
&V1& in accordance with Sec. 3 Par. 1 S 2 Bes_G.
