What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

Family members (spouses, registered partners and minor unmarried children) of intra-corporate transferee permit holders (“ICT” and “mobile ICT”) may take up employment, but only if they hold a “family reunification” residence permit granting access to the labour market and can prove a legally binding offer of employment from an Austrian employer. The official page does not state the holder's own employer, occupation or sector restrictions for this route.
