Minor employees in Austria: New salary limit 2025!

Österreich - The low -free border in Austria is experiencing a significant increase. From January 1, 2025, this amount will increase from currently 518.44 euros to 551.10 euros, which means around 33 euros more. This increase follows a clear trend, as the past few years show: In 2023, the border was 500.91 euros, while in 2022 it was 485.85 euros. This constant increase reflects a positive development for minor employees who can benefit from this regulation. This information has published 5min.at.

rights and insurance companies for marginalized employees

minor employees benefit not only from higher income limits, but also from specific labor law requirements, similar to part-time and full-time employees. These include the right to vacation, continued payment in the event of illness and a handling. In addition, you are entitled to special payments, such as vacation and Christmas bonuses if this is specified in the collective agreement, the Chamber of Labor.

An important date is imminent: Anyone who earns in 2024 above the new minor limit is automatically insured. Minor employees are therefore not obliged to insure themselves, but they can do so against a monthly contribution of EUR 73.20. In addition, you are always insured if the employer registers you at the Austrian health fund. Essential points that employees should consider are the rules on working hours and the requirements for public holidays that must be complied with.
