Haaretz: University wage: Up to NIS 25,000 a month
For days, 4,500 university teachers have been on strike for better employment terms. They claim to be underpaid and complain of a brain drain. But as happens in the public sector, the first line on their payslip has little to do with their actual pay. Some valuable benefits are omitted.
Here are the figures. Some 4,500 academic staff work at 7 universities: Tel Aviv, Bar-Ilan, Ben-Gurion, Haifa, Hebrew universities, the Weizmann Institute and the Technion. These are divided into four groups: 900 lecturers gross an average of NIS 14,000, 1,300 senior lecturers average NIS 16,000 (gross), 1,000 associate professors earn about NIS 19,000 and 1,300 full professors make a monthly salary of more than NIS 25,000. Since each rank contains elements of seniority which translate into more pay, the wages of two lecturers of the same rank may vary.
