Hourly salary

In cases where staff work irregular hours hourly salaries can be agreed. The terms of employment are regulated by a fixed-term employment contract under public law. In general, a probation period does not apply for employment on an hourly salary. The contract term ends without notice once the contract expires.

The hourly salary is a gross wage, which includes public holiday and annual leave allowances. This is 10.64 percent for five weeks of annual leave and 13.04 percent for six weeks of annual leave respectively. Work on Sundays and public holidays is compensated with the standard time-and-a-half pay rate. The number of hours worked is usually reported at the beginning of the following month. This means that the hours worked from the previous month are paid in the current payroll.
