(2024) How is the primary place of work defined?

The primary place of work is the fixed business location of the employer, an affiliated company, or a third party designated by the employer to which you are permanently assigned by the employer.

The permanent assignment is determined by the service or employment regulations and the agreements or instructions from the employer that supplement them. A permanent assignment is particularly assumed if you are to work indefinitely, for the duration of the employment relationship, or for a period of 48 months.

If there is no permanent assignment or if it is not clear, the primary place of work is the business location where you are typically expected to work on a daily basis, two full days per week, or at least one third of your agreed regular working hours on a permanent basis. There can be at most one primary place of work per employment relationship.
