The Short Term Employment Contract is designed for temporary employment relationships in Austria where there is a clear business need for a fixed-term arrangement. This document is commonly used for project-based work, seasonal employment, temporary replacements, or specific time-limited assignments. It must comply with Austrian labor law requirements, particularly regarding the maximum duration of fixed-term contracts and the restrictions on chain contracts. The agreement includes all mandatory elements required by Austrian employment legislation, such as working hours, remuneration, leave entitlements, and social security provisions. This contract type is particularly useful for businesses needing temporary staff augmentation while maintaining clear legal boundaries and protecting both employer and employee interests under Austrian jurisdiction.
