How much do you earn as an administrative assistant?

Hello everyone.

I, a trained carpenter, am unfortunately no longer allowed to practice my current profession due to health restrictions. For this reason , I'm currently considering training as an administrative assistant. I've always enjoyed researching relevant laws in various situations in my life, and I'm also passionate about math. I don't think my German skills should be a problem, but I know I need to work on my comma placement.😅

My question to you is about the salary of a VFA, as the information on this topic online is very conflicting. Could any of you VFAs (or former ones, if you like) possibly provide me with information about your net salary, in which federal state and in which pay bracket, and whether or not you work in the public sector?

I would also like to know if it is possible for you as a VFA to work from home?

Thank you in advance to each and every one of you who tries to answer my questions seriously.â˜ș

Administrative specialists work mainly in the public service, ie in the city, country and covenant. There they are all paid according to the public service contract, TVöD. TVöD-VKA is the one for the municipalities, TV-L for the countries and TVöD-BUND for posts at federal level. All of them easily findable and visible on the net, including the corresponding pay tables.

Just get some current job advertisements from the public service, for example at your local community. See where this training is required as a qualification. And then you can compare a few of these tenders with respect to the field of activity and the group of charges, because this is almost always stated.

The remuneration group is based on the specific activity, not on the qualification. In addition, the table fee increases over time, which are then stages 1-6. These results depending on the location and experience or time in this place of the respective person to the fluctuations in salary. But in itself, it is completely transparent which pay groups are possible with this training and how the salary is then, depending on the group and level.

The administrative specialist usually earns according to collective agreement (TVöD or TV-L). In this case, you pay groups and the level are the decisive.

As a VFA, it is usually between pay group 5 (since more than 6) to 9a, which results in a range from 2,928.99 euros to 4,703.23 euros in TVöD or 2,818.93 Euro to 4,255.96 Euro in TV-L each gross without special payment of the year or benefit or other alternative incentive system. The net is too variable as you could make a picture of it (due to tax-free allowances or accumulates, different additional KV contributions, etc.).

And depending on the employer and place, you can also work in the home office, but usually not all week, but rather only a few days, but, as I said, there are several factors in it.
