Lundi supports compliant employment in Austria for specialist senior hires — particularly DACH market presence and German-language roles. Vienna concentrates the senior talent. For larger teams seeking the DACH talent pool at lower unit cost, Germany typically offers broader options; for cost-driven operations, Poland or Romania are 40–60% cheaper.
Austria offers high-quality German-fluent senior talent in finance, engineering, and B2B — with employer social charges (~21% above gross) and labor protections comparable to Germany. Vienna concentrates virtually all professional employment. Strong fit for specialist senior hires, Austrian or DACH market presence, or German-language B2B roles. For cost-driven scaling Lundi typically recommends Poland or Romania; for broader DACH talent depth at comparable cost, Germany. For companies building teams of 10+ specifically in Austria, not individual hires.
What it costs to employ someone through Lundi.
Lundi's cost is the all-in cost of the employee — gross salary plus statutory employer contributions plus customary benefits — and a Lundi management fee on top. The management fee depends on team size and scope: smaller teams pay a higher per-head rate, teams of 20+ get materially better unit economics, and Build–Operate–Transfer engagements are structured separately.
The alternative paths look like: setting up your own local entity (meaningful months of legal and accounting work, plus ongoing in-country HR, payroll, and compliance infrastructure), engaging a local recruitment agency on contingency (typically a percentage of first-year compensation, paid once, with no ongoing employment relationship), or hiring as a contractor (lower upfront cost, real misclassification risk in most jurisdictions). Lundi is faster than entity setup, structurally different from contingency recruitment, and lower-risk than contractor arrangements.

The notice period in Austria varies based on the length of employment. It goes as follows:
When employment ends by mutual consent, no notice period is required, however, termination in writing is recommended.
For resignations, the notice period is one month. However, if there is good cause for resignation, based on the employer’s breach of the contract, the notice period doesn’t have to be observed.
Lundi works with companies building teams of 10 or more across business, technical, and operational functions . Not for one-off hires or individual placements.
EOR platforms employ individuals for you. Lundi recruits, employs, and operates concentrated teams — including day-to-day management, HR, and an optional path to your own entity. It's the operating model for companies that have outgrown the EOR ceiling.
