Document background
The 4 Week Notice Letter is a formal document used in Austrian employment relationships to terminate employment contracts with a standard four-week notice period. This document is essential for ensuring compliance with Austrian employment law requirements, including the ABGB (Austrian Civil Code) and the Angestelltengesetz (Salaried Employees Act). It must be used when either an employer wishes to terminate an employment relationship or when documenting mutually agreed termination terms. The document includes crucial information such as the termination date, notice period specifics, final working day, and any relevant handover requirements. It's particularly important that this notice adheres to Austrian formal requirements regarding content and delivery timing, as non-compliance could result in the termination being legally challenged or invalid.
