There is no limit on the duration of a fixed term contract. However, executing several fixed contracts without justification can cause them to be deemed permanent (e.g. "indefinite"). Fixed term contracts can only be terminated before the agreed expiration for cause or by mutual agreement.
Historically, individuals were classified as Workers (e.g. blue collar) or employees (e.g. white collar). In present day, there is little difference between the two from an employment law perspective. Senior managers are occasionally exempt from certain labor laws and CBAs.
Except as it relates to apprentices, probationary periods cannot be longer than one month. During a probationary period, either the Worker or the employer can terminate the agreement verbally without a reason.
In Austria, Workers recognize 13 paid public holidays. Unless otherwise dictated by CBA, work performed on a public holiday should be compensated at double-pay.
Workers are entitled to full salary for up to six weeks during a period of injury or illness. The entitlement increases to eight weeks after one year of service. After that period is exhausted, Workers are entitled to an additional four weeks of half-pay.
