Document background
The Work Contract Termination Letter is a crucial document in Austrian employment law, used when an employer wishes to formally end an employment relationship. This document must strictly adhere to Austrian labor law requirements, including compliance with the General Civil Code (ABGB), Salaried Employees Act, and other relevant legislation. The letter is typically used in situations of ordinary termination (Kündigung), ensuring proper notice periods are observed, or in cases of mutual agreement termination. It must include specific details such as the termination date, notice period, and final settlement information. The document serves as legal proof of termination and protects both employer and employee interests by clearly documenting the terms of the employment conclusion.
