Cabinet Approves Bill for Uniform Tip Allowance
The corresponding legislative proposal for a uniform tip allowance was passed today, Wednesday, in the Council of Ministers. The government is establishing a uniform legal framework for all of Austria, which serves as a guideline for the social partners.
Framework for Uniform Tip Allowance from 2026
The law aims to ensure legal certainty and is set to come into force in 2026. The General Social Insurance Act and the Employment Contract Law Adaptation Act will be adjusted accordingly, as stated in the government proposal in the Council of Ministers. For future nationwide flat-rate regulations - provided there is a social partnership agreement - a separate resolution by the self-administration of the health insurance carriers is necessary.
