In response to the increasing adoption of remote work arrangements, organizations need a comprehensive Remote Employee Equipment Agreement that complies with German legal requirements. This document is essential when companies provide equipment for remote work use, ensuring clear guidelines for both employers and employees. It addresses crucial aspects such as equipment ownership, maintenance responsibilities, data security, and compliance with German workplace safety regulations. The agreement is particularly relevant in the context of German labor law requirements for remote work setups, including the Workplace Ordinance (ArbStättV) and Occupational Safety and Health Act (ArbSchG). It should be implemented before or concurrent with the commencement of remote work arrangements where company equipment is provided.
