Au Pairs in Austria work a
maximum of 18 hours per week including babysitting hours. Please keep in mind that the candidates from countries outside the European Union are not allowed to have an additional job. In addition, an Au Pair from a non-EU country and under 28 years old will get a permit for six months first and might extend the stay for another six months after, if certain
conditions are met.
As of January 1, 2023, Au Pair's salary in Austria should be no less than 500,91 € per month. If the Au Pair is employed below the marginal earnings threshold of 500,91 € , registration for statutory accident insurance with the Österreichische Gesundheitskasse (ÖGK) is sufficient. Health insurance can be taken out with a private insurance company for the Au Pair. Insurance policies from abroad will only be accepted if benefits are provided in Austria.
Important: Au Pairs receive 15 monthly salaries per year (holiday special payment: two monthly salaries; Christmas special payment: one monthly salary). If the Au Pair works less than 18 hours a week, the special payments are reduced correspondingly to their hours.
Au Pairs in Austria are entitled to at least
one free day each week. Official regulations in Austria also establish a
30 working day holiday period for a one year stay.
Au Pairs in Austria must be able to attend a German language course and the family must pay half the cost of the language course.
