Document background
The Job Offer Application Letter is a crucial document in Austrian employment relations, typically used as the first formal written offer of employment before the detailed employment contract is prepared. It must comply with Austrian labor laws, particularly the AVRAG (Employment Contract Law Act), which requires specific employment terms to be communicated in writing. This document is used when a company wishes to formally extend an employment offer to a selected candidate following successful interviews and negotiations. It includes essential information about the position, compensation, working conditions, and benefits, serving as a bridge between verbal agreement and the formal employment contract. The document needs to be carefully drafted to ensure it includes all legally required information while remaining clear and welcoming to the prospective employee.
