What the Speditions-KV covers

The Speditions-KV (Kollektivvertrag für die Angestellten der Spediteure (Spedition und Logistik)) covers salaried staff in freight forwarding and logistics. It is negotiated between WKÖ: Fachverband Spedition und Logistik and Gewerkschaft GPA, Wirtschaftsbereich Verkehr (bis 2020 GPA-djp). It sets a minimum salary for 4 groups with up to 4 steps, currently from €2,353 to €5,369 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 January; the raise applies from 1 April. The starting point is inflation over the reference period, last time January – December 2025 at 3.52%. The union makes a demand, the employers an offer, and the deal lands in between. It lifts the minimum salaries; anyone paid more keeps their over-payment in euros.

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 Speditions-KV rose by 36.17%, prices over the reference periods by 37.58%.

Frequently asked questions

Not agreed yet. Our forecast: minimum salaries about +2.50% (range 1.00% to 4.10%). 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 April 2026, between €2,352.50 (Employment group A, Step I: entry) and €5,368.70 (Employment group D, Step IV: at 8 criteria in total) 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 January; the new salaries apply from 1 April. The round is negotiated against inflation over the reference period, the twelve months before it (last time January – December 2025: 3.52%).
The minimum raise lifts the salary table, the floor per group and step. The Speditions-KV has no separate actual raise: anyone paid above the minimum keeps their over-payment in euros, so their salary rises by the same euro amount as the minimum of their step.
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 36.17% in total, inflation over the reference periods by 37.58%. In 6 of 9 years the raise matched or beat inflation. Over the whole period the rounds fell short of inflation.
