The Certificate of Employment Request Letter is a crucial document in Austrian employment relations, used when an employee needs to obtain official documentation of their employment history and performance. This document type is particularly important as Austrian law mandates that employers must provide employment certificates upon request, whether during employment or after termination. The letter initiates the formal process of obtaining either a simple certificate (einfaches Zeugnis) containing basic employment information, or a qualified certificate (qualifiziertes Zeugnis) including performance assessments. Common scenarios for requesting such certificates include job applications, visa processes, loan applications, or personal records. Under Austrian labor law, the certificate must be written in a way that doesn't disadvantage the employee's future career prospects while maintaining truthfulness.
