How high is the salary?

The salary consists of two components, a task-specific and personal salary component.

With our system, we want to encourage people to succeed in their work. The task-specific salary component is based on the complexity of the task. We have four salary scales broken down by task:

  • management and expert tasks of officer specialists and civilians (ESJA)
  • civilian tasks (SIV)
  • tasks of officers, military chaplains and military conductors (JSA)
  • NCO tasks (AU)
