Key legal question
Whether the Zurich Administrative Court's interpretation of the transition rules required placing transferred employees at 100% of the salary band.
Extracted holding
The transition rules required placement based on the prior annual salary; 95% placement was not an impermissible reduction measure and did not require a special justification.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 187 AB PR governed transfers and expressly tied them to the previous salary, with a floor at 95% of the applicable band. The court's contrary reading conflicted with the wording, system, and legislative history.
