Definition

A posted worker (entsandter Arbeitnehmer) is an employee who is temporarily sent by their employer from an EU/EEA Member State, Switzerland, or a third country to perform services in Austria. The LSD-BG specifically addresses the rights and obligations related to these workers, ensuring they receive Austrian minimum wage and working conditions, and imposing notification and documentation requirements on their foreign employers.
