Document background
The Termination of Employment Without Notice is a critical document used in Austrian employment relationships when immediate termination is necessary due to serious misconduct, breach of trust, or other legally justified grounds. It's utilized in situations where continuing the employment relationship until a regular notice period expires is unreasonable for the employer. This document must strictly adhere to Austrian labor law requirements, particularly under the Angestelltengesetz and ABGB, and should include specific details about the grounds for termination, timing, and final arrangements. The document is typically issued after careful consideration and often following consultation with legal experts, as it can be subject to legal challenge. It must be properly served to the employee and may require prior consultation with the works council if one exists.
