Challenges
Digital Service needed benchmarks for very different ecosystems: the private sector market and the TVöD to ensure a market-oriented and, as a federal company, a responsible salary system.
With around 150 employees subject to a uniform salary band, a more explicit presentation of different salary levels based on functions was required.
In order to ensure that new appointments and salary adjustments are based on the principles of efficiency, competitiveness, fairness and comparability, it was necessary to review and possibly expand the salary range on the basis of market data.
Solution
Choosing the right external benchmark provider
Development of a new level/grading structure
Benchmarking with the private sector and the TVöD
Creation and implementation of a new salary structure with salary bands based on level classifications
Impact
The salary benchmark helps Digital Service as a federated company to achieve the following goals:
Ensuring a fair salary structure, presentation of expected recruitment salaries and salary development for the Digital Service functions based on external data.
Assessment of competitiveness in the Berlin labor market to attract and retain qualified employees.
