Document background
The Termination Warning Notice (K眉ndigungsandrohung) is a crucial document in Austrian employment relationships, typically issued when an employee's performance or conduct falls below acceptable standards. It serves as a formal prerequisite before proceeding with termination, demonstrating the employer's attempt to address issues before taking more severe action. The document must be drafted in compliance with Austrian employment law, including the ABGB, AVRAG, and ArbVG, particularly considering any applicable collective agreements or works council rights. It should clearly document the specific issues, required improvements, and consequences of non-compliance, while respecting the employee's rights under Austrian labor protection laws. This document is particularly important as evidence in potential future labor court proceedings and demonstrates the employer's commitment to fair treatment and progressive discipline.
