Occupation: Doctors without specialisation – highly complex tasks [Ärzte/Ärztinnen (ohne Spezialisierung) - hoch komplexe Tätigkeiten] (KldB 2010 81404). Covers doctors the BA files under KldB 8140: Arzt/Ärztin, Assistenzarzt/-ärztin (doctors in specialty training) and general practitioners (Facharzt Allgemeinmedizin); other specialists have their own codes. The upper quartile lies above the contribution ceiling of 8,050 € a month nationally and in most Länder, so the BA does not publish it there. The TV-Ärzte/VKA table is for a 40-hour week at municipal hospitals; on-call duty and allowances come on top.
