The approximately 57,000 civil servants in the Berlin regional service are getting more money. Your salaries will increase retrospectively to January 1 by 2.5 percent, as the House of Representatives decided on Thursday. In addition, the lowest grades will be abolished, family allowances and hardship allowances raised and extended to more groups. The red-red-green coalition had set itself the goal of adjusting the pay of civil servants to the average of the other federal states by 2021. Against this background, their salaries rose by 4.3 percent each in 2019 and 2020.
The budget spokeswoman for the Green Group, Stefanie Remlinger, put the extent of the salary increase since the start of the red-red-green coalition at 18 percent. “We have become more competitive with the federal government and other federal states,” she said. “A detective inspector, for example, now has a monthly income of over 400 euros more than five years ago. The aim is to carry this positive development through despite the pressure on the state budget due to the pandemic. ”
