Document background
The Terminate Employment Letter is a crucial document used in Austrian employment law when an employer wishes to formally end an employment relationship. It must be drafted in compliance with Austrian labor legislation, particularly the Salaried Employees Act and Labor Law requirements. This document is essential for properly documenting the termination process and protecting both employer and employee interests. The letter should be used when terminating employment through standard notice (not for immediate dismissals), and must include specific information such as the termination date, notice period, and final settlement details. It's important to note that Austrian law has strict requirements regarding termination dates (often only quarterly or monthly dates are permitted) and notice periods, which vary based on the employee's length of service. The document serves both as a formal notification and a legal record of the termination process.
