What the Sozialversicherungs-KV covers

The Sozialversicherungs-KV (Dienstordnung A für die Angestellten bei den Sozialversicherungsträgern Österreichs 2005 (DO.A 2005)) covers salaried staff of the social insurance institutions (ÖGK, PVA, AUVA, SVS, BVAEB). It is negotiated between Dachverband der Sozialversicherungsträger (Konferenz der Sozialversicherungsträger; bis 2019 Hauptverband) and Gewerkschaft GPA (Wirtschaftsbereich 20) und Gewerkschaft vida (Fachbereich Gesundheit). It sets a minimum salary for 16 groups with up to 18 steps, currently from €2,307 to €10,663 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 November; the raise applies from 1 January. 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 Sozialversicherungs-KV rose by 39.44%, prices over the reference periods by 36.92%.

Frequently asked questions

Not agreed yet. Our forecast: minimum salaries about +3.00% (range 2.10% to 3.70%). It starts from inflation over the reference period November 2025 – October 2026 (3.20%, 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 January 2026, between €2,307.40 (Pay group A, Step 1) and €10,663.20 (Pay group G, class II, Step 18) 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 November; the new salaries apply from 1 January. 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 2026 minimum salaries rose by 39.44% in total, inflation over the reference periods by 36.92%. In 7 of 9 years the raise matched or beat inflation. Over the whole period the rounds kept up with inflation.
