Sunday and holiday employment: Exemption permit (for chemical, biological, technical or physical reasons).
Service Description
If you as an employer want to employ workers on Sundays and public holidays because certain work for chemical, biological, technical or physical reasons requires uninterrupted progress even on Sundays and public holidays, you need an exceptional permit. This may apply, for example, to tunnel construction work or conservation work that is highly dependent on the weather, unless it is already legally permissible under Section 10 (1) No. 15 ArbZG. The permit is issued exclusively for the continued activity itself and the activities directly related to it.
