What the Privatspital-KV covers

The Privatspital-KV (Kollektivvertrag für die Dienstnehmerinnen der Privatkrankenanstalten Österreichs) covers employees of private hospitals, sanatoria and rehabilitation clinics. It is negotiated between Verband der Privatkrankenanstalten Österreichs and Gewerkschaft vida. It sets a minimum salary for 7 groups with up to 21 steps, currently from €2,372 to €5,027 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 April. The starting point is inflation over the reference period, last time November 2024 – October 2025 at 3.19%. 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.

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 minimum salaries under the Privatspital-KV rose by 42.14%, prices over the reference periods by 40.42%.

Frequently asked questions

Agreed: minimum salaries 85% of inflation over the reference period, from 1 April 2027.
Our forecast: minimum salaries about +2.20% (range 1.90% to 2.40%). It starts from inflation over the reference period November 2026 – October 2027 (2.72%, 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 April 2026, between €2,372.00 (F Medical masseurs, practice assistants, home helpers, Step 1, years 1–2) and €5,026.53 (A Heads of nursing, senior nurses, Step 21, from year 42) 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 April. The round is negotiated against inflation over the reference period, the twelve months before it (last time November 2024 – October 2025: 3.19%).
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 2027 minimum salaries rose by 42.14% in total, inflation over the reference periods by 40.42% (2027 partly forecast). In 5 of 9 years the raise matched or beat inflation. Over the whole period the rounds kept up with inflation.
