Austria does not have a national minimum age set by law, but instead, minimum wages are determined by collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) within specific industries. The minimum wage that an employee is entitled to depends on varying factors such as professional training, job role and experience level.
Income tax rates for individuals in 2025 vary between 0% and 55% depending on gross annual income, although other factors may impact the total amount of tax that is paid.
In Austria, the public pension system requires a mandatory total contribution from gross earnings of 22.8%, with employees paying 10.25% and employers paying 12.55%.
The standard working hours in Austria are typically 8 hours per day and 40 hours per week, but this can be flexible and adjusted by way of collective bargaining agreements. Any hours worked beyond the standard limit of 40 hours are considered overtime. Employers must pay a 50% bonus for overtime hours, or time off in lieu can be agreed instead.
Employee’s leave consists of several types:
- Statutory time off or paid leave, which is 5 weeks, or 25 working days, per year for full-time employees, increasing after long service.
- Public holidays (there are 13 bank holidays per year in Austria)
- Maternity, Paternity and Parental leave
- Sick leave
Termination of an employment contract in Austria can occur in several ways:
- Termination during the probationary period
- By mutual agreement
- Notice of termination
- Dismissal
- Resignation
- Expiration of the employment contract
