The Amendment to the Disabled Persons Employment Act (BEinstG), BGBl. I
Nr.111/2010, which came into force on 1 January 2011, contained measures to
facilitate the integration of persons with disabilities on the employment
market. Among these measures are the loosened dismissal protection and a scaled
increase of compensatory taxes for non-complying employers. In the framework of
the evaluation, the effects of this amendment on the employing and dismissing
behaviour of the companies and on the employment situation of persons with
disabilities are studied.
