2.4.1.5.Special quotas
Under the terms of the 1997 Aliens Act, the Federal Minister of Labour, Health and Social Affairs may - as was the case under the Residency Act - by ordinance define special quotas in order to cover temporary demand for labour in seasonal occupations.
Employment licences issued on the basis of such a special quota function simultaneously as residence permits (previously residence certificate) for the duration of the employment. The period of validity of the employment licence may not exceed six months in such cases.
