Document background
The Amendment To Employment Agreement is a crucial document used when there is a need to modify existing employment terms while maintaining the core employment relationship under Austrian law. This document is typically required when implementing changes to key employment terms such as role, compensation, working hours, or other significant conditions. It must comply with Austrian labor law requirements, including the Employment Contract Law Adaptation Act (AVRAG) and the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB). The amendment should clearly reference the original employment agreement, specify the exact modifications, and confirm which original terms remain unchanged. If the workplace has a works council, their involvement may be required depending on the nature of the changes. The document serves as a formal record of the agreed changes and protects both parties by ensuring clarity and legal compliance in the modified employment relationship.
