What is a Short Employment Contract?

The Short Employment Contract is designed for use in establishing standard employment relationships under Austrian law. It is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized businesses and standard professional roles where a comprehensive but concise employment agreement is needed. This template includes all legally required elements under Austrian employment law while avoiding unnecessary complexity. It's structured to be compliant with the Austrian Labor Law (Arbeitsrecht), Working Hours Act (Arbeitszeitgesetz), and other relevant employment legislation. The document should be used when establishing new employment relationships or formalizing existing ones, providing a clear framework for both employer and employee rights and obligations. While comprehensive enough to cover essential terms, it remains shorter and more straightforward than contracts typically used for executive or highly specialized positions.
