Austria: Facilitation of formalities regarding employee delegations from June

The formalities relating to informing that an employee is being delegated in Austria will be simplified and the number of documents needed reduced.

Simpler applications

As of June 1, simplified formalities relating to delegating employees will apply in Austria. Delegated drivers will be required to report once every six years rather than for each individual route.

Employee data and vehicle registration number will be required for the application, but you will no longer need to provide information about the counterparty and the place of employment.

Fewer documents

Also the document requirements that the driver needs to have will also change. From June the delegated worker will not have to bring with him documents confirming the amount of his salary. However, if he is summoned for inspection, he will have to show the required documentation.

The employee must bring a report (ZKO-Meldung) to the Central Department of Coordination (Zentrale Koordinationsstelle, abbreviated ZKO) of the Federal Ministry of Finance and the contract of employment. When it comes to the A1 document, the driver is not obliged to carry it if they have another document confirming that they are covered by health insurance.
