More Money for Civil Servants - Wage Agreement to be Transferred - Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania approves 2.8% pay rise for civil servants in 2023
Civil servants and judges in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are set for a pay rise from April 1, 2023. The increase follows a new agreement that also covers trainee allowances and future adjustments. Pensioners will see their payments adjusted in line with the changes.
The salary boost will be 2.8 percent, with a guaranteed minimum rise of €100. Further increases are planned for 2027 and 2028. However, the changes must first pass through the state parliament, with a draft bill expected in early 2023.
Trainee civil servants will also benefit, receiving an extra €60 in their allowances from April. The adjustments aim to align pensions with the new salary levels, ensuring retirees keep pace with the changes. No detailed comparisons with other German states or past figures were provided, as the available data only referenced a broader MOTRA-Monitor report.
The pay rise takes effect on April 1, 2023, once legislative approval is secured. Both active employees and pensioners will see their incomes adjusted. Further increases are already scheduled for later in the decade.
