Document background
The Initial Offer Letter is a crucial document in the Austrian employment process, serving as the first formal written communication of employment terms between an employer and a potential employee. It is typically issued after successful completion of the interview process and before the formal employment contract. The document must comply with Austrian labor laws, particularly the AVRAG, and includes essential information about the position, compensation, working conditions, and any special terms of employment. While not as detailed as the final employment contract, the Initial Offer Letter sets clear expectations and demonstrates the employer's commitment to hire. It's a standard practice in Austrian business culture to provide this document, which helps ensure transparency and establishes the foundation for the employment relationship.
