The Employment Ordinance ( BeschV ) regulates the conditions under which foreign employees and foreigners already living in Germany can be admitted to the German labor market.
history
The ordinance was promulgated as Art. 1 of the ordinance amending the employment law for foreigners and, with effect from 1 July 2013, replaced the employment ordinance of the same name of 22 November 2004 and the employment procedure ordinance of the same day.
Up until this point in time, the employment of foreigners was regulated in two separate ordinances; their respective application depended on whether the foreigner was still abroad (then employment ordinance) or already in Germany (then employment procedure ordinance). This division, which was unsuccessful from the start, was ended by the new employment ordinance, which now regulates both issues.
scope of application
The ordinance only applies to those foreigners who require a residence permit in Germany and who must also be separately permitted to take up employment .
EU citizens and citizens of another EEA state ( Iceland , Liechtenstein and Norway ) or citizens of Switzerland and their close family members living with them are not affected by the regulation , even if they are third-country nationals . This group of people already has a right of residence under European law (freedom of movement under Article 21 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), freedom of movement for workers under Article 45 TFEU) and the right to be self-employed or gainfully employed. You do not need a residence permit or a work permit . This group of people received a certificate of freedom of movement until January 28, 2013 and has not received a residence document at all since then. Your family members who are not citizens of an EEA country will receive a declaratory residence card . Citizens of Switzerland and their family members receive a residence permit with the special entry Residence permit-CH . In all of these cases, gainful employment is permitted without restriction.
