Collective Bargaining Negotiations: Agreement for Employees in the Non-Profit Charitable Sector

The collective agreement is valid throughout Austria for 41 charitable institutions that are active in care, working with the disabled, caring for the homeless and people affected by poverty, or in education. The result means a 4 percent increase for all wages and allowances that fall under the collective agreement from January 1, 2025, according to a statement.

Additional Salary Leap Agreed in Collective Bargaining for Employees in the Non-Profit Charitable Sector

Also new: Anyone who works more than one hour per week on average over the last six months beyond the agreed weekly hours (i.e., performs overtime), can increase their weekly hours by half of the average overtime. In addition, the flexibility allowance will be improved and a new voluntary reserve service will be introduced. With a new salary level, employees who have been in service for a very long time will also benefit from an additional biennial leap.

Alexander Bodmann, Vice President of Caritas Austria, as an employer representative, also saw the long-term sustainable development of the non-profit sector as an attractive employer strengthened. For GPA negotiator Stefan Kraker, purchasing power could be strengthened. Michaela Guglberger from vida emphasized the benefits for older employees.
