28In the present case, by refusing to take into account in their entirety any relevant periods of service that a migrant worker has completed with an employer established in a Member State other than the Republic of Austria, the national legislation at issue in the main proceedings is liable to affect migrant workers more than national workers, placing the former at a particular disadvantage as they will in all likelihood have accrued professional experience in a Member State other than the Republic of Austria before entering the employ of Land Salzburg. Thus, a migrant worker who has accrued relevant professional experience with employers established in a Member State other than the Republic of Austria and whose professional experience with those employers is of the same length as the experience accrued by a worker who has spent his entire career working for Land Salzburg will be placed on a lower pay step than the latter.
