Remote Work Around the World #4

Remote Work Around the World – next stop: Austria!

Online Online
25 June 2025

Austria might not be a high-risk zone, but remote work here still comes with its own set of unique legal and practical considerations. As hybrid and fully remote work models continue to shape the future of employment, companies must ensure they remain compliant while supporting employee flexibility across borders. 

But here’s the challenge: Austria’s legal system is highly intricate and deeply interconnected. Labour law, tax law and social security regulations are interwoven in such a way that even experts can find it difficult to clearly understand the rules. Successfully navigating this legal landscape requires a solid grasp of how these different areas of law interact and of the issues that companies need to be aware of.

In this webinar, we’ll explore what it truly means to “work from anywhere” when that “anywhere” is Austria. From legal frameworks and social security obligations to tax compliance and residency rules – this session will give you a comprehensive overview of everything you need to know to manage remote work setups in Austria effectively and legally.

The focus of this session: Austria. What legal hurdles do companies face when their employees relocate or work remotely from Austria? What are the tax and social security implications? What rights and protections do remote employees have under Austrian labour law?

We’ll cover:

Legal & tax frameworks – Employment law, permanent establishment risk, social security, and tax compliance

Employee rights – What remote workers in Austria are entitled to and how employers can support them

Residency, visas & cross-border setups – How to handle remote work for non-EU citizens in Austria

Practical considerations – Setting up contracts, managing remote teams, and maintaining compliance

Save the date! Whether you’re a company with employees in Austria or considering Austria as a remote work destination, this session will provide essential insights.
