Hey Buddy.
Here is your answer.
Employment is a relationship between two parties, usually based on a contract where work is paid for, where one party, which may be a corporation, for profit, not-for-profit organization, co-operative or other entity is the employer and the other is the employee.
Full and part-time workThe conventional contract of employment in a permanent employment relationship with all its rights (leave entitlement, protection against dismissal, social insurance, etc.) and obligations continues to be the most common form.
Part-time employees are subject to the same labour legislation rules as full-time employees and have (except cases of marginal employment) the same insurance protection (sickness, accident, unemployment and pension insurance).
The same applies to fixed-term employment contracts, although there are no periods of notice since the employment relationship ceases at the end of the contract.Independent contractorsIndependent (freelance) contractors (e.g. language instructors) enjoy limited protection under labour legislation, but almost full social insurance. Since 1 January 2008, they have also been subject to unemployment insurance. They pay Chamber of Labour fees (compulsory membership of the Austrian Chamber of Labour) and are covered by the employees’ provident fund (Mitarbeitervorsorge).PLEASE NOTE:In the absence of a specific agreement between client and freelance contractor, freelance workers have no claim to statutory benefits such as periods of notice, holiday pay, etc.Minimally employedMinimally employed workers (Geringfügig Beschäftigte) (monthly income not exceeding € 415.72 in 2016) are covered by accident insurance. The employer must register this part-time employment with the health insurance provider. Voluntary health and pension insurance is available, to be paid for by the minimally employed worker. Under labour legislation (protection against dismissal, severance pay, etc.) minimally employed workers are treated equally as employees in employment for which the remuneration exceeds the marginal employment limit. There is only one exception regarding the shorter notice period, if the weekly working hours of a minimally employed person are less than one-fifth of the legal (or collective treaty) regular working hours (e.g. less than eight hours, if the regular working hours are 40). Such contracts are getting increasingly popular in some sectors (e.g. trade).New self-employed workersThe category ‘new self-employed workers’ comprises all commercial activities for which a trade licence (Gewerbeschein) is not required (e.g. writers, consultants, translators, lecturers, psychotherapists). The new self-employed have to report their activity to the Social Insurance Institution for Trade and Industry. They are covered by sickness, pension and accident insurance. Since 1 January 2009, self-employed persons have been able to insure themselves against the risk of unemployment under an ‘opt-in’ model.ApprenticeshipApprentices (trainees) in all sectors must conclude their contracts of apprenticeship in writing for under-age apprentices, their legal representatives have to agree as well.Apprentices enjoy full insurance protection (sickness, accident, unemployment and pension insurance) and have special protection against dismissal.Seasonal workersSeasonal workers in the hotel and catering trade are subject to special collective treaty provisions regarding their working time; there is full social insurance protection.Agency workersAgency workers enjoy full insurance protection, but are to some extent covered by statutory provisions specific to them (e.g. short-term dismissal protection).Voluntary workersVoluntary workers have trainee status. They are under no obligation to perform work and have no claim to remuneration.
