Companies that provide home work in accordance with the Home Work Act (HAG), for which special regulations apply for the implementation of hazard protection, must notify the police authority (in Lower Saxony, the municipality/regulatory office) of the names and workplaces of those they employ for home work. This also applies if only irregular or minor activities are planned. The notification must be renewed each time there is a change in the group of people working from home. The same applies if the address of the workplace changes. Special regulations within the meaning of this provision are contained in the Hazardous Substances Ordinance and the Biological Substances Ordinance, among others. Restrictions also exist under the Maternity Protection Act.

If you are working from home for the first time, you must also submit a notification of working from home to the Göttingen Trade Supervisory Office.
