Reporting the hiring out of employees

You must notify the Federal Employment Agency in writing or online in the Federal Employment Agency's eService in advance if you are hiring out workers:

Online application:

• Download the form "Notification of the transfer of an employee in accordance with Section 1a of the Temporary Employment Act (Arbeitnehmerüberlassungsgesetz - AÜG)" from the website of the Federal Employment Agency. The documents are barrier-free and can be completed using a PC.
• Save the document(s).
• Fill out the form. You must provide the following information in the notification:
  • First and last name, place of residence and home, date and place of birth of the temporary worker,
  • Type of work to be performed by the temporary worker and any obligation to work away from home,
  • Start and duration of the assignment,
  • Company and address of the hirer.
• You do not need a scanned signature on the application form.
• Upload the completed forms via the upload service. Do the same with the other documents. You can also submit additional documents via the upload service.
• Before submitting the application, you must identify yourself using an electronic ID card or electronic residence permit.
• You will receive a notification of fees together with the decision on your application.
• In the eService of the Federal Employment Agency, you can use the so-called "e-payment" function to display the transfer data (e.g. IBAN and reason for payment) and copy them into your own transfer program.

You can also use giropay and the direct debit procedure. In the future, it is planned to make the payment methods Paypal, Sofortüberweisung and credit card (Mastercard and Visa) available.

• If you successfully submit the application online and have identified yourself with your electronic ID card or electronic residence permit, it is not necessary to send the documents to the Employment Agency by post.

Application by post

• As an alternative to applying online, you can send the application by post to the relevant employment agency. There is a written form requirement, i.e. the notification must be signed in person by a person authorized to represent you.
• Print out the form and sign it.
• Submit the completed and signed form, including the attachment, to the relevant employment agency. You can find out which employment agency is responsible for you on the form. There you will also find the postal addresses of the relevant offices to which you must send the form.
