LABOR RIGHTS INFORMATION EVENT IN AUSTRIA TO BE HELD ON APRIL 28

How can I work in Austria? Which institution can I turn to if my labor and social rights are violated? What do I need to do to register for pension and health insurance? What rules should I follow? Workers and those wishing to work in Austria will receive answers to these questions and other useful tips during an online information event on the Zoom platform on April 28 at 10.30. The forum is organized by the Office of Labor and Social Affairs at the Bulgarian Embassy in Vienna.

During the event, experts from the General Labor Inspectorate, the Employment Agency, the National Social Security Institute and their Austrian partners will tell who is who in the protection of employees and which provisions must be taken into account in Austria.

The experts will inform those interested about the opportunities for posting, finding a job through an intermediary, using the opportunities provided by EURES. Useful advice will be given on the basic rules that those wishing to start working abroad must comply with when leaving Bulgaria. The participants in the event will find out if and how they are registered in health or pension insurance and if they have insurance against an accident at work, what is the procedure if such registration is missing and how to file a report.

Representatives of the National Social Security Institute will explain what documents must be submitted upon return to Bulgaria with a view to granting and paying short-term benefits and state social security benefits.
