Switch-over from student assistant contracts to TV-L employment in the University’s academic support units

Current information for students: The agreed switch-over of student assistant contracts in the academic support area to TV-L-based contracts is taking shape. TV-L is the collective bargaining agreement for employees engaged in the public sector of the German federal states (Länder). As of now, no new student assistant contracts based on the previous model will be concluded in the non-academic organisational units; the new contracts will only be concluded in accordance with TV-L.

On 16 January at 16:00, the University's head of administration will hold a virtual information event for all students. If you wish to attend this, please go to Stud.IP and sign up for event 98612 “Informationsveranstaltung: Umstellung der SHK-Verträge im wissenschaftsstützenden Bereich auf TV-L-Beschäftigungen (WiSe 24/25)” . This event will be held in German. Head of Administration Dr Achim Dilling will provide information on the current status of the switch-over process and what this means in detail for everyone affected by it. He will also be available to answer questions.

We have collected frequently asked questions about the switch-over for you in an Online FAQ, which we will be updating on a rolling basis. We will also keep you informed of new developments in our Wednesday updates.
