What the Ordinations-KV covers

The Ordinations-KV (Kollektivvertrag für die Angestellten bei Ärztinnen, Ärzten und Gruppenpraxen in Wien) covers staff of doctors' practices and group practices in Vienna (e.g. medical practice assistants). It is negotiated between Ärztekammer für Wien, Kurie niedergelassene Ärzte and Gewerkschaft GPA (bis 2020 GPA-djp), Wirtschaftsbereich Gesundheit, Soziale Dienstleistung, Kinder- und Jugendhilfe. It sets a minimum salary for 6 groups with up to 9 steps, currently from €2,198 to €3,360 gross a month. It is paid 14 times a year: the holiday pay and Christmas pay are set by the agreement and taxed at a preferential rate.

It is renegotiated every year, usually from October; the raise applies from 1 January. The starting point is inflation over the reference period, last time June 2025 – May 2026 at 3.44%. The union makes a demand, the employers an offer, and the deal lands in between. It usually has two figures: the minimum raise for the salary table and the actual raise for the salary you really get, also with an over-payment. The 2026 deal includes a one-off payment of €375 gross. At most: premium for January to May 2026 for staff on the minimum, 3.5% of the minimum salaries earned, at most €75 a month (full time), by 1 Aug 2026 The 2026 deal includes a one-off payment of €285 gross. At most: premium for January to May 2026 for salaries above the minimum, 2.3% of actual pay, at most €57 a month (full time), by 1 Aug 2026

What is left of a raise after tax depends on your salary: each extra euro carries social insurance and wage tax at your marginal rate, so net pay usually grows a little less, in percent, than gross. Whether a deal is enough shows in purchasing power: since 2018 actual salaries under the Ordinations-KV rose by 25.58%, prices over the reference periods by 40.68%.

Frequently asked questions

Not agreed yet (2027 round under negotiation). Our forecast: minimum salaries about +7.10% (range 3.40% to 12.00%), actual salaries about +2.70%. It starts from inflation over the reference period January – December 2026 (3.10%, partly a WIFO forecast) and adds how far above or below inflation the branch settled in its last 3 rounds.
Under the salary table from 1 June 2026, between €2,198.00 (Group A, clerical staff, receptionists, staff in training, Years 1–3) and €3,360.00 (Group D, registered nurses, allied health professionals, From year 16) gross a month, paid 14 times a year. It is a floor: your employer may pay more (over-payment), never less.
Talks usually start in October; the new salaries apply from 1 January. The round is negotiated against inflation over the reference period, the twelve months before it (last time June 2025 – May 2026: 3.44%).
The minimum raise lifts the salary table, the floor per group and step. The actual raise applies to the salary really paid, even above the minimum. Where it is lower than the minimum raise, the over-payment shrinks; your salary may never fall below the new minimum.
Yes. The minimum salary applies in proportion to your hours: at 20 of 40 weekly hours, half of it. The raise in percent is the same as for full-time.
Yes. Holiday and Christmas pay follow the monthly salary in force when they are paid. So you get a raise 14 times a year, and both special payments stay taxed at the preferential rate up to the annual sixth.
Then your employer has to top you up to the new minimum of your group and step from the effective date. Check your grade with the table on this page. You can claim shortfalls back, but many agreements set short deadlines for that, so talk to your works council, union or the Chamber of Labour early.
From 2018 to 2026 actual salaries rose by 25.58% in total, inflation over the reference periods by 40.68%. In 3 of 9 years the raise matched or beat inflation. Over the whole period the rounds fell short of inflation.
