Procedure descriptions
Apply for authorisation to employ a pregnant or breastfeeding woman between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m
Pregnant or breastfeeding women may not be employed by their employer between 8 pm and 6 am.
If you as an employer wish to employ a pregnant or breastfeeding woman between 8 pm and 10 pm, you must submit an application for authorisation to the health and safety authority responsible for you.
As long as the supervisory authority does not reject the application or does not temporarily prohibit employment between 8 pm and 10 pm, the employer may employ the woman subject to the conditions below.
If the supervisory authority does not reject the application within six weeks of receiving the complete application, the authorisation is deemed to have been granted. The decision is a discretionary decision by the authority. This means that a favourable decision does not always have to be made if all the reasons are met.
Your application for authorisation to work between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. does not replace the notification regarding the employment of a pregnant or breastfeeding woman.
Responsible authority
the regional council responsible for the woman's place of employment
