ERA Osnabrück-Emsland-Grafschaft Bentheim 2026: Salary & Wage Table
Last updated August 27, 2026
The Osnabrück-Emsland-Grafschaft Bentheim Tarifgebiet negotiates its own ERA wage table separately from the rest of Lower Saxony, covering the state's western corner around Osnabrück and the Emsland and Grafschaft Bentheim districts. It runs at the standard 35-hour week, with an EG5 Eckentgelt of €3,677.00 at entry step.
This Tarifgebiet uses its own distinct step structure: Eingangsstufe (entry), Hauptstufe, and up to three further Zusatzstufen, rather than the Grundentgelt/Zusatzstufe or Stufe A/B/C patterns used by most other regions in this tool.
The table below lists every Entgeltgruppe and experience step at its full monthly gross tariff wage. For Weihnachtsgeld, Urlaubsgeld, T-ZUG A/B, and T-Geld calculated for your own grade and tenure, use the interactive ERA explorer linked below.
