Salaries in the hospital civil service  In 2021, the average net salary increased by 2.8% in constant euros

In 2021, a hospital civil service (HCS) employee earned on average 2,590 euros net per month full-time equivalent. This average included all employees of public hospitals and medico-social institutions, whether they are civil servants, contract workers or medical staff. This average net salary increased by 2.8% in real terms over one year, after +5.9% in 2020, these two years having been marked by the payment of the exceptional “Covid-19” bonus and the application of the “Ségur de la santé” agreements.

The average net salary of HCS civil servants increased by 2.9% in real terms. It increased by 3.1% for Non-civil servants staff and by 3.2% for medical staff.

In 2021, the wages disparities in the HCS were almost stable. Women’s net wages were on average 19.6% lower than men’s. The gap for a comparable profile was 3.7%.

For employees present all year round in 2020 and 2021 with the same employer and with the same work ratio, i.e. almost two out of three HCS employees, the average net wage increased by 4.1% in real terms.
