Procedure details

Homeworkers and home-based tradespeople within the meaning of the Homeworking Act as well as persons who, due to their need for protection, are treated in the same way as employees working from home, are subject to special statutory protection regulations.

Companies providing home-based work are obliged to keep lists of home-based workers. The lists must be sent to the responsible supervisory authority (Trade Supervisory Office) every six months.

Companies wishing to employ people to work from home for the first time must also notify the competent supervisory authority.

Your company provides work from home.

All persons who are employed to work from home or to pass on their work must be entered in the home office list.

A new home office list must be created for each calendar half-year and updated on an ongoing basis.

If you submit the home work list online to the responsible trade supervisory office:

  • Complete the form step by step online and submit it online at the end. The form wizard provides you with help texts to explain the individual form fields. Your details are checked online for plausibility and completeness.
  • You will receive a confirmation and a completed PDF form for your records. You can save your form data and upload it as a template for future home office lists. This saves you having to fill in unchanged form fields again, e.g. details of your company, continuing home workers, etc.

The lists for the first half of the calendar year (January 1 to June 30) must be submitted to the responsible supervisory authority (Trade Supervisory Office) by July 31 of the current year and the lists for the second half of the calendar year (July 1 to December 31) must be submitted by January 31 of the following year.

These deadlines must be strictly adhered to, as the lists are essential for proper monitoring of charges and timely statistics.

Violations of the regulations on list management can be punished with a fine of up to EUR 2,500.

For more detailed information on the allocation of work from home, please refer to the information sheet on the issue and acceptance of work from home in Bavaria from the Bavarian State Ministry for Family, Labor and Social Affairs under "Further links".

Action before the labor court
  • Labor court proceedings; filing a complaint with the labor court

    Court decisions contain information on legal remedies and the applicable time limit.

    Legal remedies are appeal, revision and complaint.

    Appeals against judgments of the labor court are lodged with the regional labor courts. An appeal can only be lodged if the value of the subject matter of the appeal exceeds EUR 600.00 or if it concerns a dispute over the status quo (e.g. dismissal) or if the appeal has been permitted in the judgment of the labor court. The appeal must always be allowed if the case is of fundamental importance or if the case concerns legal disputes between parties to collective agreements arising from collective agreements or concerning the existence or non-existence of collective agreements. The time limit for appeal is one month, the time limit for the statement of grounds for appeal is two months from the date of service of the judgment of the first instance in full form, but no later than five months after delivery. In certain cases, an appeal may be lodged against a judgment of the labor court to the Federal Labor Court (i.e. without prior appeal proceedings).

    An appeal on points of law can be lodged with the Federal Labor Court against the judgment of a regional labor court if it has been granted by the regional labor court or by the Federal Labor Court in response to a complaint against denial of leave to appeal. The time limit for the appeal is one month, the time limit for the statement of grounds is two months.

    The Regional Labor Court decides on appeals against other decisions of the Labor Court. All judgments and other decisions that can be appealed against with a time-limited appeal contain instructions on how to appeal.
