The Suspension Letter To Employee is a crucial document in Austrian employment practice used when an employer needs to temporarily remove an employee from their duties while maintaining the employment relationship. This may occur during investigations of workplace incidents, serious misconduct allegations, or other situations requiring temporary removal from the workplace. The document must comply with Austrian labor laws and typically includes details about the suspension's duration, whether it is paid or unpaid, the reason for suspension, and any conditions for returning to work. It's essential to involve relevant stakeholders such as the Works Council (if applicable) and ensure compliance with both company policies and Austrian employment regulations. The letter serves as an official record of the suspension decision and protects both employer and employee interests by clearly documenting the terms and conditions of the suspension.
