Document background
The Employment Joining Letter is a crucial document in the Austrian employment onboarding process, typically issued after verbal agreement on employment terms but before the commencement of employment. It serves as a formal written confirmation of the employment relationship and key terms, combining the legal requirements of Austrian employment law with a welcoming tone appropriate for new employees. The document is used across all industry sectors and employment levels, requiring careful attention to both legal compliance and clear communication. It must include mandatory employment terms required by Austrian labor law while maintaining accessibility for both domestic and international employees. The Employment Joining Letter often serves as the primary document evidencing employment terms until a more detailed employment contract is executed, if applicable.
