Who this suits in Austria
- A family-run Austrian business, such as a specialist manufacturer or engineering supplier, that has grown and now needs written HR processes.
- An Austrian office of an international group that needs local HR documents consistent with head office.
- A tourism, hospitality or services business that hires seasonal staff and wants a repeatable joiner and leaver process.
- A technology or services company with a small HR function that wants a handbook, onboarding and review process before it adds more staff.

Formal and hierarchical habits.
In many Austrian firms, roles and titles carry weight and decisions run through senior people. Written processes help mid-level managers know what they may decide themselves.
Sector agreements and company practice.
Sector-level agreements shape many working terms. Company documents need to sit alongside them without contradiction, and your adviser confirms the detail.
Staff representation.
Where a staff council is in place, managers need a consistent way to inform and consult. Your adviser confirms what applies, and we build the communication steps.
Apprenticeship and skills training.
Many employers train apprentices and skilled workers. A clear training plan, mentor role and review record help trainees and supervisors.
Seasonal staffing.
Tourism and hospitality employers scale teams through the year. A repeatable process for joiners, returners and leavers keeps records consistent.
Documents in German.
Staff will expect core documents in German, while head office works in English. A translation and approval step keeps the versions aligned.
Local rules your adviser confirms
These are Austrian regimes an employer should confirm with a qualified local adviser. We do not state rates, limits or notice periods. We design the process around each point once your adviser confirms it.
| Topic | What we do about it |
|---|---|
| Collective agreements | Sector agreements set many terms for pay, hours and leave. Your adviser confirms which one applies. We build the confirmed terms into your documents. |
| Works council | Staff councils have information and participation rights in some workplaces. Your adviser confirms what applies. We design manager communication steps around it. |
| Written employment information | New employees receive written terms of employment. Your adviser confirms the content. We create contract and onboarding templates around it. |
| Working time and leave | Hours, rest periods and leave are regulated. We design the recording and request steps. Your adviser confirms what applies to your roles. |
| Probation and ending employment | Probation and ending employment follow formal rules. Your adviser leads on these. We design the manager workflow and file records. |
| Social insurance and tax | Registration and contributions are handled by your adviser or payroll provider. We add the joiner and leaver steps that feed them. |
| Apprenticeships | Apprentice employment has its own framework. Your adviser and the relevant bodies confirm what applies. We add the training plan and review steps to HR files. |
| Language and data protection | Staff documents will usually need German versions, and personal data rules affect staff files. We draft in English. Your adviser or translator confirms the final versions. |
GullyHR does not give legal advice. We design the HR process around a rule once your qualified local adviser has confirmed it.
