Integration team
According to Sections 176, 178 and 181 of SGB IX , the company integration team (formerly known as the "helper group") consists of the works council or staff council, the severely disabled employee representative and the employer's inclusion officer .
Provisions
According to the law for severely disabled people (Part 3 of Book IX of the Social Code), the integration team supports the participation of disabled people in working life and in society in companies and offices . It follows from these provisions that the legislature has not left the safeguarding of the participation of severely disabled people in working life and in society to the authorities alone, but attaches great importance to the autonomous participation of those involved in the company. In contrast to and as an essential supplement to the services of the rehabilitation providers and the integration office, company self-help should be activated.
tasks
The main task of the integration team is to make full use of the company's possibilities for employing severely disabled people in accordance with their abilities and disabilities. In doing so, they should work closely with one another - in the form of the integration team - and with the authorities responsible ( Section 182 of Book IX of the Social Code). The integration team plays a key role in drawing up and concluding an inclusion agreement and performs an important function in the context of prevention and in the company's integration management. The integration team meets as required or on a regular basis and is open to the participation of other operational functionaries, e.g. B. the specialist for occupational safety or the company doctor.
