Application for an exemption agreement for cross-border teleworking (home office)

Submission

The application can be submitted electronically without a signature.

General remarks:
According to current legislation, applications must be signed by the person submitting the application. With a view to the greatest possible customer orientation and efficient and simple business processing, the office is dispensing with the signature in this case and instead offering the option of electronic submission using a form and without a signature. The signature can be requested subsequently if necessary.

The application for an exemption agreement for cross-border teleworking can be submitted by the employee and the employer. Submission with the personal eID is recommended.
