As members of the academic personnel, professors are classified on level F of the pay scale according to the system of academic salaries. Full professors are classified on level F1, associate professors on level F1a, and assistant professors as well as senior lecturers on level F2. Research associates with a Ph.D. are classified on levels F8 or F9, academic assistants with a Master’s degree on level F4 or, with a Bachelor’s degree, on F6. If full and associate professors, as well as assistant professors, fulfil a leadership function at an institute, they receive in addition 25 per cent of their basic salary, according to their level of classification, for this leadership function – the so-called “institute quarter”. The classification level of full and associate professors is based on the completion of a Habilitation or the establishment of qualifications judged equivalent, as well as on any additional academic achievements. The classification level of assistant professors is based on the completion of their Ph.D. and on any additional academic achievements.
