Document background
The Notification of Termination of Employment is a crucial document used in Austrian employment relationships when an employer initiates the termination of an employment contract. This document must comply with strict Austrian legal requirements, including specific notice periods that vary based on the employee's length of service and position (white-collar vs. blue-collar workers). It needs to be issued in writing and contain clear, unambiguous language regarding the termination. The document is essential for ensuring legal compliance, protecting both employer and employee rights, and facilitating a proper conclusion of the employment relationship. It must consider various aspects of Austrian labor law, including potential works council involvement, special protection categories, and mandatory information requirements. The notification serves as official documentation of the termination decision and typically triggers various administrative processes related to the employment's conclusion.
