  • Detailed description

    Changes in the management of a craft enterprise subject to approval must be reported to the Chamber of Crafts. The management of a craft enterprise must have the technical requirements for practicing the craft subject to licensing. This can be a master craftsman's certificate for the respective craft, but also an equivalent domestic or foreign professional qualification or an exemption permit or right to exercise.

    Both the owners of a craft business and employed persons can be considered as managers. In the latter case, the application for registration must be submitted together with a manager's declaration and supplementary documents.

    The tasks of the plant management include, among other things:

    • to control, supervise and monitor the technical workflow and not to limit itself to the mere control of the work result,
    • to direct employees and to make the necessary arrangements,
    • to prevent and, if necessary, correct deficiencies in the execution of the work,
    • to ensure that there are no violations of legal provisions or operating instructions,
    • regularly visit the various workplaces to supervise the execution of the work,
    • be constantly available during working hours and be available and ready for action at short notice in urgent and emergency cases.
  • Requirements
    • Proof of qualification (master craftsman's certificate for the respective craft, alternatively equivalent domestic or foreign professional qualification or an exemption permit or right to practice)
    • The management must be available to the company to perform its functions to the same extent as a master craftsman as the owner of the craft business. Basically, this means a continuous full-time employment.

    Management by the owner:

    • Employment contract stating that the management is available to the company during normal working hours (working hours and salary in accordance with the collective agreement or industry practice). If the managing director is also a technical manager and also holds at least 30% of the company's shareholding, the manager's declaration is sufficient.
