Please be aware of the fact that at the same time it is actually the highest amount in Austria. Should this amount be rounded it would mean that the limit for the guaranteed basic income (Geringfügigkeitsgrenze) would be exceeded. In such a case no announcement will be issued by the Austrian AMS (Arbeitsmarktservice). According to the ASVG (Allgemeines Sozialversicherungsgesetz) such contributions should be deducted from this amount for the Austrian social insurance.

Au pair´s insurance
Registration at the legal social insurance in Austria
When you want to have an au pair with you, you must register her/him in accordance with the General Social Security Law (ASVG) at the legal Austrian social insurance. Above that you must pay contributions to the local territorial health insurance scheme for the accident insurance.
Free board and lodging as well as the sum which the host family must pay for the au pair´s private insurance and the attendance of the language course together with the cultural events are not included in the au pair´s pocket money and therefore they are not subject to contribution.
When the au pair will be employed under the minimum sum (the limit in 2014 lays at 395,31 EUR), the registration at the legal accident insurance body is enough. Your au pair should have a health insurance.
Health insurace:
Your au pair can conclude health insurance with a private insurance body. It should be checked in advance whether the health insurance from her/his homeland is valid also in Austria. A foreign health insurance is sufficient only then, when the performances can be applied in Austria too.
