Question juridique clé
Whether the 70% salary rate during the required training was unlawful under cantonal public-service rules.
Solution extraite
The salary reduction was lawful because remuneration follows the actual workload; the training caused a substantial reduction of activity and therefore justified a 70% rate.
Motifs extraits
The training was basic qualification, not mere continuing education. Under cantonal rules, a civil servant is paid according to the extent of the function occupied; when he cannot work full time because of an accepted training arrangement, the employer may adapt pay to the reduced activity.
