Continued pay for teaching assistants and employees on an hourly wage
Anyone employed at ETH on an hourly wage or working as teaching assistant will receive 80% of their salary during emergency operations, even if the agreed performance can only be partially rendered, or not at all.
Due to the reduction in research and teaching activities, most teaching assistants and employees on an hourly wage will be unable to work their agreed hours by the end of May 2020. The Executive Board wishes to provide these employees with financial security in this challenging time. It obliges professors and supervisors to assume this responsibility and to continue paying wages at a rate of 80% of agreed hours.
The Rector and the Vice President for Personnel Development and Leadership (interim) have jointly issued a relevant regulation.
If teaching assistants are unable work in their agreed unit, they should be deployed to another unit where possible. Those who receive continued pay are expected to perform services in the helper pool.
