Article 3.7 Deputising
If an employee temporarily fills another position as a substitute, the salary scale that applied to him
previously shall remain effective, with due observance of the provisions in Article 3.15.
Article 3.8 Starting grades
1 If an employee is employed in a new position and is not yet able to fully perform the duties of this
position, he can be placed in a starting grade.
2 As soon as an evaluation during the grading period proves that the employee performs his duties
properly, he is placed in the salary grade corresponding to the position.
3 The starting grade referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 is the first lower salary grade, except for salary
grade 10, for which salary grade 8 is the starting grade.
4 The maximum duration of placement in a starting grade is two years.
5 If the employee still does not perform his duties properly six months prior to expiry of the
maximum period referred to in paragraph 4, the employer shall consult with the employee about
a different career perspective, either within the institution or elsewhere.
Article 3.9 Departures from the rules in special cases
In special cases - for tax-related reasons - the employer, following consultation with local employees’
organisations, may lay down a regulation that either supplements or deviates from Articles 3.1, 3.3 and
3.5 to 3.8.
Article 3.10 Doctoral candidate salary
1 The doctoral candidate is subject to salary grades P0, P1, P2 and P3.
2 On inception of the employment contract, the doctoral candidate is placed in salary grade P0 for
a period of 12 months.
3 At the end of the period of 12 months referred to in paragraph 2, the doctoral candidate will be
placed in salary grade P1, also if the first employment contract of the doctoral candidate runs
longer than 12 months. In derogation of Article 3.3, paragraph 3, the salary increase is not linked
to the performance assessment. The salary increase does not, therefore, constitute an opinion about
the doctoral candidate’s performance in the first year of employment.
4 Each subsequent salary increase shall take place only after an annual assessment.
5 If the doctoral candidate still has not had his annual assessment 15 months after the last periodic
salary increase and when this cannot be attributed to the person involved, the next salary increase
shall take effect automatically while upholding the original incremental date.
