    Research / teaching supplements

    In addition to variable performance-related bonuses, professorial compensation within the W pay grade may also comprise research or teaching supplements from external funding in accordance with Section 39 of the Hamburg civil service pay scale act (Hamburgisches Besoldungsgesetz, HmbBesG).

    Research or teaching supplements from external funding can only be granted if the external funding amounts have not been and are not to be factored into any other performance-related grant payments (Section 34 subsection 5 HmbBesG).

    We have put together a list of important questions on this topic and their answers.

    What externally funded projects permit such payments?

    Section 39 of the Hamburg civil service pay scale act (Hamburgisches Besoldungsgesetz, HmbBesG) stipulates:

    Authorities in charge of performance-related bonus payments may grant professors, including junior professors, who are conducting university research or teaching projects for which they have acquired funding from external private or public sources, a non-pensionable bonus (research or teaching differential) from these funds within the bounds of earmarking and only for the agreed payment period. Research or teaching differential payments for junior professors are limited to the duration of their junior professorship.

    What requirements must be met?

    Granting research or teaching supplements and their type and amount must be fixed in the employment agreement negotiated between Universität Hamburg and the external funding provider.

    When negotiating, please ensure that the contract volume is commensurate with the research or teaching supplement. Research and teaching supplements may not exceed your annual salary (see Section 39 subsection 3 HmbBesG).

    If you have any further questions, please contact the contract management staff in the Department of Research Management and Funding in the early stages of your negotiations.

    Legal basis

    Payment procedure

    If the option of research or teaching supplement payments is already included in the external funding agreement, you can directly submit a request for payment of a research or teaching supplement (DOCX) to the Human Resources Department.

    As a rule, automatic payment of research or teaching supplements as part of remuneration takes place once a year and per project once the University has received external funding payments. Pursuant to Section 39 subsection 1 HmbBesG, research and teaching supplements are not pensionable.
