• LeggeIfSG certificate: before the first day of food work, every worker needs a certificate from the health office (Gesundheitsamt) or a doctor it commissions. It must be no older than 3 months at the start and has no expiry date (IfSG § 43).
• LeggeInstruction by the employer: after the start and then every 2 years, you instruct staff on work bans and the duty to report illness, and you document it. Keep the certificate and the last record (IfSG § 43). Employing someone without the certificate can cost up to €25,000.
