Child protection check as a temporary worker at Netto?
Hello, as I read above, I wanted to ask if, as a 17-year-old mini-jobber, I have to undergo medical examinations before applying for a temporary position at Netto. This involves stocking goods and working at the cash register. The employment contract would be permanent.
In Germany, young people under the age of 18 have to have a **youth examination** if they work in a job covered by the Youth Employment Protection Act. This investigation serves to ensure that you are physically and healthily able to perform the tasks in your job.
As a rule, no special investigation is necessary for the purpose of helping out jobs in net, such as goods clearance or cash work, as long as there are no dangerous or physically very stressful activities. But it may be that net as an employer requires you a medical certificate when entering, especially if you are under 18. This certificate confirms that you are suitable for work.
It would be a good idea to ask you exactly at the net staff office or branch where you want to start. You can tell if such an investigation is required and what documentation you may need to bring.
In any case, you should make sure that you meet all legal requirements before you start working.
Hey, thanks for your answer, I’ve been working there for 5 months, no investigation was necessary at the end….
I wish you a happy new year 😁
