Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the salary placement in anlaufstufen was invalid for lack of sufficient legal basis under the Bern constitution
Extrahierter Entscheid
The challenged salary scheme and its application were not invalidated; the complaints failed.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the omission in the formal statute did not lead to partial invalidity of the decree. The salary system was a coherent whole, and annulling only the anlaufstufen would be inappropriate and disproportionate.
