The Certificate of Employment Letter (Arbeitszeugnis) is a crucial document in Austrian employment relations, required by law to be issued upon the conclusion of any employment relationship. This document serves multiple purposes: it provides official confirmation of employment history, details job responsibilities and performance, and serves as a reference for future employers. Under Austrian labor law, every employee has the legal right to receive this certificate, and employers are obligated to provide it in a timely manner upon employment termination. The certificate must follow specific formal requirements, including the use of high-quality paper with company letterhead, and must contain certain mandatory information while maintaining a positive or neutral tone. The content must be truthful and complete while avoiding any formulations that could disadvantage the employee in their future career. The document is widely recognized and accepted across all industries in Austria and often serves as a key document in job applications and career advancement.
