Wage policy
Once a year, we communally discusss potential changes to our wage sheet. Everybody on LibScie's payroll gets invited to this discussion.
Wage scales are separate for employees and formal directors. Formal directors have different contracts and are registered in the German Chamber of Commerce, which carries additional obligations and responsibilities. Directors receive 12 months' pay, whereas employees receive 12 months' pay plus two holiday payments (yearly = 14 monthly salaries).
Each person in the organization is scaled according to their tenure in years with LibScie. During your first year after your start date, you are in scale 1. If you have been with the organization for 5 years, you are in scale 5. Overall, you get a lifetime pay rise of 62% notwithstanding inflation correction or future changes.
