183 people work in the National-Rat. Many of them have other jobs. They get extra money for this. 14 people earn a lot of extra money. They get more than 12.000 Euro every month. This is on top of their main job.
Most top earners come from the party FPÖ. There are 9 men from this party. Only 1 woman is a top earner. Her name is Karin Doppelbauer. She belongs to the party NEOS.
There is also work that is ehren-amtliche. This means: The politicians work for free. They get no money for this work. The people from the ÖVP do this often. 2 women have many of these jobs. Their names are Elisabeth Scheucher-Pichler and Katrin Auer.
Other parties do not like the high extra money. The ÖVP and the SPÖ talk about this. They say: This money is too much. In the party Greens nobody earns more than 4.000 Euro. Half of all politicians have no extra money.
