Contract & Documents

As a free employee, you can schedule your working hours and times flexibly while being insured just like a regularly employed person. However, you are required to pay income tax (not wage tax), as you are considered a self-employed person from an Austrian tax law perspective. This means you are independently responsible for paying income tax. 

The tax liability is based on the taxable annual income. For further details please see here!

The notice period is one month, whereby the last day of the notice period must fall on the 15th or the last day of the month. 

There are four options for termination: 

1. At the request of the free employee with one month's notice 

2. At the request of the company with 6-weeks-notice (or more, depending on your tenure) to the 15th or last day of the month 

3. Immediate termination for good cause

4. Termination by mutual agreement, but rarely used due to the risk of social fraud through the receipt of AMS benefits.

Your free employment contract can be terminated especially but not limited to following cases:

• You have committed criminal offences such as theft or hit-and-run.

• You have  consumed alcohol or other drugs during working hours or started a Slot under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

• You have displayed behaviour that is detrimental to the business, such as insulting customers or coworkers, sexually harassing them or making racist remarks.

• You have repeatedly disregarded the safety regulations in road traffic
