Combating undeclared work
The Salzland district, specialist service for order and road traffic, is responsible for combating illegal employment in the event of offences under trade and craft law.
The legal basis is provided by Section 2(3) of the Act to Combat Undeclared Work and Illegal Employment (SchwarzArbG).
Accordingly, offences against the trade or craft regulations are deemed to have been committed if:
- the obligation to notify the start of the independent operation of a standing trade has not been fulfilled or the required travelling trade licence has not been obtained (lack of business registration)
- a craft requiring a licence is operated independently as a standing trade and there is no entry in the register of craftsmen.
