Best EOR Providers in Austria (2026): Shortlist & How to Choose

In Austria, an EOR arrangement is usually labour leasing under the Labour Leasing Act (AÜG): a regulated trade that needs proof of qualification. During an assignment, the worker is entitled to appropriate, locally customary pay, compared with what your own comparable employees get.

Austria has no statutory minimum wage. Pay is set by collective agreements, which most often add a holiday bonus and a Christmas bonus, the so-called 13th and 14th salaries. The best EOR for Austria holds the right licence and applies the right collective agreement.
