AIO salaries will rise to the level of Junior researchers

The universities and labour unions have agreed on a new labour agreement. One of the major issues of the agreement and an obstacle during the negotiations was the position of PhD students in the new system of job assessment. The unions and universities have now agreed to include PhD students in the new system. This effectively means that the salaries of PhD students will rise over the coming years up to scale 10, comparable to the salary of an assistant professor. The cut due to education received by PhD students will be done away with, except for the first year.
The first raise will take effect September this year. The next two years the salaries will be raised stepwise until in 2005 scale 10 is reached. The table shows the stepwise rise of the gross salary for the years of the position:

year 1/9 2003 1/9 2004 1/9 2005
1 1668 1777 1831
2 1777 1831 2136
3 1933 2136 2238
4 2238 2238 2347

More information can be found on the web pages of the labour union, ABVAKABO or the joint universities, VSNU. There is also an English translation of the collective labour agreement available.

that's good for new AIOs

有没有人听说这种说法, 今年9月开始的phd将不再给工作签证, 工资待遇会提高, 但全是学生签证?

if it is true, it is great. No need to pay tax

从9月一号开始，PhD不再是学校的Employee，而是PhD Student。。。。

这么说如果毕业后留下来，那这四年就不算作工作了？
Ph.D Student真不用缴税？

no matter you are student or employee, you still need to pay tax if you have income

瞎扯,我刚拿到工作许可的啊

税是肯定要打的,还好,交完税,乱七八糟的补贴,大概还可以有个1300的样子.

not regarded as employee is not means you can get paid without work permit
