The Service Contract Letter is a crucial document used in Austria to formalize service arrangements between independent contractors and their clients. It serves as a clear written record of the service relationship, distinguishing it from employment contracts (Dienstvertrag) under Austrian law. This document is particularly important given Austria's strict regulations regarding the classification of independent contractors versus employees. The Service Contract Letter includes specific details about the service scope, delivery terms, compensation, and the independent nature of the relationship, while ensuring compliance with Austrian Civil Code (ABGB) requirements. It's commonly used for professional services, consulting arrangements, and project-based work where the service provider maintains independence in their work methods and business operations.
