Besprechung Dokument
RUB, Marquard
The salary for civil servants is determined by the Federal Salary Act (Bundesbesoldungsgesetz) and the relevant state regulations. The salary scale for professors is "W". The salary for scientific employees in North Rhine-Westphalia is based on the collective agreement for the public service of the Länder (TV-L). Salaries are paid by Landesamt für Besoldung und Versorgung NRW (LBV).
You must sign your employment contract before you officially start work. Your institute and the personnel department will inform you in good time before the start of employment which forms and documents you need to submit for the execution of the contract. As an employee, you are generally subject to tax and social security contributions in Germany.
Search for work and unemployment benefits (ALG I)
Please remember to register as a job seeker with the Employment Agency at least three months before the end of your employment if you wish to stay in Germany. In that case you also need to request the certificate of employment from the Human Resources Department.
