Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the salary transposition system created an unlawful unequal treatment between former and newly hired employees
Decisione estratta
Yes. The different treatment was not justified by objective reasons and violated equal treatment.
Motivazione estratta
At equal function and experience, new hires received the experience-based increments under Art. 5.1 RRE, while former employees transferred franc-for-franc lost increments. The employer's arguments about collective bargaining, temporariness, budget constraints, and system-wide effects did not establish a valid justification.
