Tariffs - NRW transfers result for public service to civil servants
North Rhine-Westphalia will transfer the wage agreement negotiated last week for employees in the public service of the federal states in full to its civil servants and judges. This was agreed between the heads of the state government and union representatives on Tuesday.
"The beneficiaries will therefore initially receive a one-off amount of 1,800 euros," announced the state chancellery in Düsseldorf. Payments of 120 euros per month are also planned for the months of January to October 2024. Pro-rata adjustments for pension recipients as well as special payments for recipients of aspirant salaries and maintenance allowances will also be granted.
The first part of the special payment will be made in January 2024. Basic salaries will be increased by 200 euros on November 1, 2024, followed by a further increase of 5.5 percent on February 1, 2025.
The agreement reached last Saturday between the Tarifgemeinschaft deutscher Länder and the trade unions is a fair result, emphasized NRW Minister President Hendrik Wüst (CDU). The transfer to civil servants takes into account the inflation-related burdens and expresses recognition of their work. "An efficient public service is the backbone of the state and society, especially in these challenging times." NRW Finance Minister Marcus Optendrenk (CDU) emphasized: "With the 1:1 transfer to civil servants, we are providing clarity early on at the end of the year."
The heads of the numerous trade unions involved also praised "the quick and unbureaucratic transfer". They also expressly emphasized the associated "appreciation of all state employees and the lifetime achievements of retired colleagues". Only the Association of Judges and Public Prosecutors of North Rhine-Westphalia noted that "this does not result in constitutionally compliant salaries".
