KV Certificate Order Hospitals Upper Austria

The negotiations for the collective agreement (KV) 2025 of the Upper Austrian religious hospitals led to an agreement after six rounds. The central result is a 3.5 percent increase in wages, salaries and allowances. The union members confirmed the result of the negotiations with a clear majority. The KV is valid from 01.01.2025.

In addition to more money, more free time

In addition to the improved pay, employees will benefit from an extension of the so-called time bonus regulation. From 01.05.2025, employees can carry 48 hours per year into the next year, after 10 or 20 years of service, the number of hours increases again by 8 hours each. Equally gratifying: December 31 is now considered a full day off. Another success is that employees get the 6th week of vacation faster. For example, employees aged 51 and over who are subject to Rule 1 will enjoy more time off after 5 instead of 10 years of service. From 1 May 2025, a uniform calculation period of four months will also apply to all employees.
