The home office obligation should come again.

Berlin / Munich - The fourth corona wave is sweeping through Germany and causing more and more restrictions.

Now, apparently, the traffic light parties are also reacting and, in the person of Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD), want the re-introduction of the home office obligation.

This was reported by "Bild am Sonntag" with reference to a draft law that the Federal Ministry of Labor submitted to the traffic light parties SPD, Greens and FDP.

Accordingly, 3G is also mandatory in the workplace.

"In the case of office work or comparable activities, the employer has to offer employees to carry out these activities in their home, if there are no compelling operational reasons", the newspaper quotes from the draft.

"The employees have to accept this offer, provided there are no reasons to the contrary."

According to "Bild", the parliamentary groups of the traffic light parties have been discussing the draft since the weekend.

In the case of the FDP in particular, it is therefore still unclear how it positions itself.

According to "Bild", the planned 3G rule at the workplace - that is, the obligation to present proof of vaccination, recovery or a negative test result - provides that the employer does not have to offer tests.

Unvaccinated employees would therefore have to take care of a certified rapid test themselves on a daily basis.
