Artikel 4.3 Legal Status (Local Employees) Regulations 2020

Article 4.3 The pay scale, pay number and salary amount applicable to an employee 1 The pay scale applicable to an employee is the pay scale attached to the employee’s job in accordance with annexe 1. 2 The salary amount received by an employee is based on the applicable pay scale and pay number. At the start of employment, an employee is assigned the lowest pay number unless there are special circumstances which warrant a higher pay number. In the case of a part-time employment contract, the salary amount is reduced proportionately. 3 No more than once a year, an employee who has not yet reached the highest number in the applicable pay scale may be assigned the next highest pay number in that pay scale if the employer is of the opinion that the employee has performed well. 4 Notwithstanding paragraph 3, the employer may decide in special circumstances to assign an employee a higher pay number than the next highest in the applicable pay scale.
