Again, for everyone, I had to take some time now to read everything through once more:
1. No, it is not contractually fixed, just like not a single contract in the economy is contractually fixed. Any entrepreneur can "throw you out on the street" within a very short time. You calculate with a €3,000 net income in the private sector? How certain is that for you? For how long?
What exactly are we discussing here??
2. The personal circumstance and this individual case, however, make it possible to count on it, end of story. Yes, my girlfriend is an exception and yes, she is currently working in a position paid according to A13. In March 2021, she will be upgraded from A10 to A12, according to the paragraphs I mentioned. One year later, she will "normally" rise, always depending on whether the municipality cooperates or not, to the currently paid position A13.
But none of that matters now? The initial question was a completely different one.... Just to clear things up for everyone here once again. Especially this talk about it not being certain or something like that. NO, it is not contractually fixed, absolutely correct. If there is an economic crisis tomorrow (see even the current Corona situation), then no employee in the economy has anything close to security regarding their income anymore. So, what are we talking about here? I assume that this leap will be reached in 3 years and thus we have even more input. But as I said, it doesn’t matter at all.
Edit: We had another meeting today at the Volksbank... sounded very interesting in connection with the Münchener Hypothekenbank. But yes, it will probably ultimately come down to a repayment of €1,600 in the "difficult" times. We would definitely have to manage that. Maybe an adjustment to €1,400 for a certain time can be made here, but more probably won’t be so easily possible.
