The Contract Between Employer And Employee is a fundamental legal document used in Austria to establish and regulate the employment relationship between companies and their employees. This contract type is essential for any employment arrangement in Austria, whether for full-time, part-time, or fixed-term positions. It must comply with Austrian labor law requirements, including provisions from the Austrian Labour Law (Arbeitsrecht), Working Hours Act (Arbeitszeitgesetz), and various other employment-related legislation. The document serves as a binding agreement that protects both parties' interests while ensuring adherence to mandatory legal requirements regarding working conditions, remuneration, leave entitlements, and termination procedures. It's particularly important as Austrian employment law provides strong employee protections and requires specific terms to be explicitly documented in the employment contract.
