Technical machinery and specialist equipment will only be operated by employees who have received the necessary training and authorization.

• Organising finished products

WORKING ENVIRONMENT

Warehouse and factory employment is practical and physically active.

A normal working day may involve:

• Standing for extended periods
• Walking around warehouse or factory areas
• Packing products
• Sorting goods
• Carrying suitable boxes
• Repetitive movements
• Working to production targets
• Working around machinery
• Working as part of a team
• Following workplace safety procedures
• Working different shifts

Some manufacturing and logistics businesses operate for extended hours or continuously.

Employees should therefore be prepared for shift work where required.

SHIFT WORK

Depending on the employer, employees may work:

Morning Shifts
Afternoon Shifts
Evening Shifts
Night Shifts where applicable

The exact shift arrangement will be stated in the employment offer.

Applicable additional payments for overtime, night work or other qualifying working arrangements will be handled according to Austrian employment law and the collective agreement applicable to the workplace.

WORKING HOURS

These are full-time positions.

Austria’s statutory normal working time is generally:

8 Hours Per Day

and

40 Hours Per Week

However, many Austrian industries operate under collective agreements that provide a shorter normal working week, such as approximately 38 or 38.5 hours.

The actual working schedule will therefore depend on the employer, industry, collective agreement and shift arrangement.

Employees will receive details of their working days, starting times, finishing times, breaks and rest periods in their employment documentation.

SALARY

Salary According to the Applicable Austrian Collective Agreement

Austria does not operate a single national statutory minimum wage in the same way as some other European countries.

Minimum salaries are generally established through collective agreements covering particular industries and occupations.

For this reason, the exact minimum salary for a Warehouse or Factory Worker will depend on factors including:

• Employer
• Industry
• Job classification
• Position
• Collective agreement
• Working hours
• Shift arrangement
• Employee responsibilities

The exact gross monthly salary will be clearly stated in the individual employment offer before the candidate accepts the position.

The salary offered must comply with the minimum remuneration applicable to the position.

The amount received after tax, social-insurance contributions and other lawful deductions will depend on the employee’s individual circumstances.

OVERTIME & ADDITIONAL EARNINGS

Warehouses and factories can experience periods of increased production and distribution.

Additional hours may become available when businesses receive large orders, increase manufacturing output or require additional warehouse capacity.

Where overtime is available and legally permitted, workers may have opportunities to increase their earnings.

Overtime is not guaranteed.

Under the general Austrian rules, statutory overtime is normally subject to additional compensation or compensatory time off.

The exact arrangements will depend on the applicable collective agreement and employment contract.

ACCOMMODATION PROVIDED

Accommodation will be arranged for successful employees.

Depending on the employer and location, accommodation may include:

• Shared apartments
• Shared houses
• Worker residences
• Employer-arranged accommodation
• Other suitable housing

Employees may share bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and common facilities depending on the accommodation arrangement.

Full accommodation details will be provided before the candidate accepts the final employment offer.

Any applicable accommodation charges, utility costs or deductions will be disclosed in advance.

LUNCH PROVIDED

Lunch will be provided during scheduled working days according to the employer’s arrangements.

The exact meal arrangement will be explained as part of the final employment package.

HEALTHCARE & SOCIAL INSURANCE

Employees legally employed in Austria will receive the applicable Austrian social-insurance and healthcare arrangements associated with their employment and immigration status.

The relevant registration and contribution arrangements will be explained during the employment and onboarding process.

EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION ASSISTANCE

International applicants who require authorization to work in Austria will have their eligibility assessed against the immigration and employment rules applicable to the proposed position.

Austria operates specific employment and residence routes for third-country nationals.

These routes have individual requirements and may consider matters such as:

• Qualifications
• Previous employment experience
• Occupation
• Salary
• Employer
• Language ability
• Age
• Immigration status
• Type of employment

For this reason, being selected for an interview or employment opportunity does not automatically mean that a candidate qualifies for Austrian work authorization.

Candidates will be assessed individually before immigration processing begins.

VISA & RESIDENCE PERMIT ASSISTANCE

Candidates who are selected by an employer and qualify for an appropriate Austrian employment and residence route will receive assistance with the applicable process.

Assistance may include guidance concerning:

• Employment documentation
• Employment contracts
• Employer declarations
• Work authorization requirements
• Residence permit requirements
• Supporting documents
• Visa requirements where applicable
• Application preparation
• Appointment preparation
• Pre-departure requirements

Applicants remain responsible for providing genuine personal documents and satisfying the official eligibility requirements.

Employment authorization, residence permit and visa assistance does not guarantee approval.

Final decisions remain with the appropriate Austrian authorities.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS

Austria has specific immigration requirements for workers coming from countries outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland.

Not every entry-level Warehouse or Factory Worker position will automatically qualify for an employment-based residence permit.

The recruitment team must therefore assess the proposed employer, position and applicant before confirming whether immigration processing can proceed.

Candidates should not assume that submitting an application guarantees eligibility to work in Austria.

Applicants who already have unrestricted or appropriate access to the Austrian labour market may be subject to different requirements.

APPLICATION & INTERVIEW PROCESS

Candidates interested in Warehouse and Factory Worker positions should begin by completing the online application form available on this website.

Please provide complete and accurate information.

Applications will be reviewed against available full-time warehouse, manufacturing, logistics, production and packing vacancies.

Candidates whose applications are suitable for available positions may be shortlisted and contacted regarding the next stage.

Successful shortlisted candidates may be invited to participate in an interview and selection process in Asia or the United Kingdom, depending on employer and recruitment arrangements.

There is no requirement to travel simply to submit an application.

If attendance at an interview is required, shortlisted candidates will receive information regarding the location, date and arrangements.

Candidates should not purchase flights, reserve accommodation or make other travel arrangements until they have received an official interview invitation and confirmed that they are legally eligible to travel to the interview destination.

EMPLOYMENT OFFER

Candidates successfully selected by an employer will receive details of their proposed employment before proceeding with immigration formalities.

The final employment offer will normally identify:

• Employer
• Job title
• Factory or warehouse
• Workplace location
• Applicable collective agreement
• Gross salary
