Document background
The Mutual Agreement Termination Letter is a crucial document in Austrian employment law when both employer and employee agree to end their employment relationship consensually. This document type is commonly used when parties wish to terminate employment outside standard notice periods or when a negotiated exit is preferred. It must comply with Austrian labor laws, including the ABGB (Austrian Civil Code) and specific employment regulations. The letter typically includes essential elements such as party identification, termination date, final payment terms, and mutual releases. In larger organizations, Works Council consultation may be required. The document serves as legal evidence of the agreed termination terms and helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting all aspects of the separation agreement.
