7,000 instead of 5,100 euros gross: Upper Austria increases salaries for medical officers

Because currently 6.1 full-time equivalents are vacant. For newcomers there will be at least 7,000 euros gross to the district authorities or 6,500 euros gross in the state health department – instead of the previous 5,100 euros, according to LH Thomas Stelzer and LHStv. Christine Haberlander (both ÖVP) on Wednesday.

Public health officers who are already on duty under the “new salary” scheme are to be raised to a similar level as new colleagues with an allowance. Nothing will change for those with an “old salary” – they would earn significantly more anyway. The remuneration for deputy activities and the recognition of previous service periods are also to be improved.
