To calculate the system technician HF salary, the occupational group is changed to "31 Engineering and comparable specialists" and the education is changed to "Higher vocational training, higher technical college". Now adjust the age to 31 years.
Three years later, after completing his training, he receives a salary of CHF 6,848 per month as a systems technician at the same company, i.e. his salary increase is over 17%.
Please note: The calculation is intended as an example for system technicians HF (formerly technician HF system technology). As mentioned above, the salary depends on various factors and can vary considerably.
