Key legal question
Whether the State Council had authority to regulate entry salary steps for teachers by ordinance under the cantonal salary law.
Extracted holding
The delegation was valid: it was limited to a specific field, the statute set the basic limits, and it did not seriously affect legal status.
Extracted reasoning
Cantonal law expressly authorized the executive to set entry steps and specify salary reductions within fixed temporal and percentage limits. Such delegation is constitutionally permissible.
