More info

AMLA, as an EU body, offers competitive salaries based on a basic scale for each contract type, function group, and grade [Salary | EU careers].

Staff members pay a European tax, which is deducted directly from their salaries. Deductions also cover sickness and accident insurance, pensions, and unemployment insurance. Salaries are exempt from national taxes. 

Additional allowances may apply based on personal circumstances, such as expatriate status and/or parenthood.

Basic salaries and specific allowances are adjusted using a local weighting (correction coefficient) to account for the cost of living in Frankfurt, Germany, where AMLA is located. As of 1 July 2024, the weighting for Frankfurt is 102.2%.

AMLA’s employees benefit from flexible work arrangements and have the opportunity to enrol their children, free of charge, in Frankfurt’s European School. European Schools offer high-quality education, fosters multilingualism and cultural diversity, and provides an enriching international environment. You will find more info on our Why join us page.

Contract Types

AMLA will be staffed mainly by temporary and contract agents recruited through open selection procedures. AMLA does not employ permanent officials.

Temporary Agents

Temporary Agents support policy, administration, and management, classified into three function groups:

  • Administrator (AD)
  • Senior Assistant/Assistant (AST)
  • Secretary/Clerk (AST/SC)

Contract Agents

Contract Agents provide expertise in corporate, administrative, and support services, divided into three function groups at AMLA:

  • Function Group IV: Administrative, advisory, linguistic, and technical roles
  • Function Group III: Executive and technical roles
  • Function Group II: Clerical and secretarial roles

Both Temporary and Contract Agent contracts are typically fixed-term (3 years), with possible renewal and eventual indefinite extension.

Seconded National Experts (SNEs)

Employees of European public-sector bodies can temporarily work at AMLA through the national expert on secondment (SNE) program. During secondment SNEs remain at the service of their original employer, bringing their knowledge to AMLA and taking relevant experience back to their home administration.

Early Careers and Trainees

Currently, AMLA does not offer any traineeship positions, but we plan to introduce these opportunities in the future.
