Salary
The salary of professors is made up of the basic salary, any family allowances to which they may be entitled and the performance-related pay agreed individually with professors in salary groups W2 and W3.
Junior professors receive a basic salary and, if applicable, family allowances. Due to legal regulations, they cannot be granted performance-related pay. After a positive interim evaluation, junior professors receive a probationary allowance of currently EUR 260 per month during their second term of office.
The salaries of civil servants are paid in advance. Payment is made at the end of the month for the following month. The calculation and payment is carried out by the Lower Saxony State Office for Pay and Pensions (NLBV) Lüneburg. Preparations for this must be completed by the middle of the previous month so that the salary can be paid on time. As a rule, later changes can only be taken into account in the next payroll run.
After the appointment of professors or the amendment of target agreements, all payment-relevant data is forwarded to the NLBV Lüneburg as quickly as possible by the clerks in the Professorships/Officials department.
The NLBV Lüneburg prepares the salary statements in paper form after the final calculation of the salary. Statements are only sent out in the event of new appointments or changes to salary payments. If there is no change in payment compared to the previous month, no statement is printed.
The NLBV Lüneburg clerks are available to answer any questions you may have on the subject of salaries. The contact details of the responsible contact persons can be found in the business distribution plan, which is currently linked under "Documents".
