Document background
The Career Certificate Form (Arbeitszeugnis) is a fundamental document in Austrian employment law, required whenever an employment relationship ends or upon request during ongoing employment. This document serves multiple purposes: it provides future employers with verified information about a candidate's work history, helps employees document their professional experience, and fulfills legal obligations under Austrian labor law, particularly 搂 1163 ABGB and 搂 39 Angestelltengesetz. The certificate must include specific information about the duration of employment, job responsibilities, and performance evaluation, written in a standardized format that adheres to Austrian business customs. Unlike simple confirmation of employment, this detailed certificate requires careful consideration of content and language to ensure compliance with legal requirements while providing an accurate and fair assessment of the employee's service.
