Document background
The Employee Termination Form is a crucial document used in Austrian employment relationships to formally document and execute the termination of employment. It must comply with Austria's strict labor laws, including the Angestelltengesetz and Arbeitsverfassungsgesetz, which provide specific requirements for notice periods, formal notifications, and employee protections. This document is essential when an employer needs to terminate an employment relationship through ordinary termination (Kündigung) or, in specific cases, extraordinary termination (fristlose Entlassung). The form includes mandatory information about notice periods, final payments, and employee rights, while also addressing company-specific requirements such as the return of company property and confidentiality obligations. Special consideration must be given to protected categories of employees and potential works council involvement.
