In determining or reviewing an employee's salary, the line manager shall prepare a job description and write to the director – holder of the salary budget – an application on the employee's desired amount of salary, taking into account the following:
• salary rate (upper limit) of the specific job of a full-time worker
• the value of work in the particular region
• workload of the particular position
• assessment of the employee's qualification
