Document background
This New Employment Contract template is designed for use when establishing new employment relationships under Austrian law. It serves as a foundational document that defines the rights, obligations, and terms of employment between an employer and employee in Austria. The contract includes all mandatory elements required by Austrian labor legislation, such as working hours, remuneration, leave entitlements, and notice periods, while allowing for customization based on specific role requirements and company policies. It ensures compliance with Austrian employment regulations, including the Labor Constitutional Act (Arbeitsverfassungsgesetz), Working Hours Act (Arbeitszeitgesetz), and other relevant legislation. This document should be used at the commencement of any new employment relationship and must be provided to the employee before or immediately upon starting work.
