Notification Short-time work allowance

Enclosed please find the initial form "Anzeige über Arbeitsausfall” (Notification of loss of working hours) required by the German Bundesagentur für Arbeit.

Additionally, the following information will be required:

  • A list of the workers concerned and a break-down of the work reduction
  • A justification why KUG is requested (more than the keyword “Corona”)
  • A list of working time accounts (existing overtime accounts, are there credit balances, etc.), if any.
     

More official information (unfortunately only in German language) provided by the German Bundesagentur für Arbeit are listed below for the sake of completeness.

Please be informed that a simple notification by the employer is not sufficient to switch from normal work into short-time work. Most companies will have to enter into individual agreements with each employee concerned. We might support you in this respect.

If the prerequisites are met, including the approval of the Federal Employment Agency, the monthly KUG applications might be prepared from the payroll accounting systems.

Please do not hesitate to contact us in case of any questions.

Yours sincerely,
