Electricity subsidy for home office?

The situation due to Corona is known in Germany.

Now we have been prescribed by the employer to work from home for 6 weeks from next week.

if you have your own notebook you have to use it and you don't get any work.

my notebook would now be in operation for 9 hours.

does this cause high costs?

by paying only 15 euro for electricity a month, since I consume little since I'm at work all day anyway.

sounds stupid, but you somehow get a subsidy for the time😅

I'm a very economical person when it comes to electricity.

I also don't have a real work table, just a small dining table, and would be uncomfortable to sit in front of the laptop for 9 hours.

my notebook also has problems with the battery, which means that it should be connected to the power cable all the time.

You can ask your employer if he will take 6 weeks off unpaid.

You can ask about the cost subsidy, but the employer doesn't have to do it.

You can deduct that from tax. Respectively. Then state the consumption in the tax

You can offset this with the savings for the trip to work. Such a question is outrageous.

No, and it doesn't cost much electricity either.

Just read the electricity meter tomorrow morning and again tomorrow evening after 9? Hours.

But don't forget, your travel costs will probably also be eliminated, unless you currently have a public transport subscription.

What is rude about it? Which trip? My work place is a 5 minute walk away from me.

Aah good to know thanks ❤️

Wouldn't mind working at home. But have no real place for it. And well, I don't know what to do for 6 weeks ^^

I always run to work because it is only 5 minutes away on foot. There are no costs.

Let us imagine that your AG would pay a grant, approx. 5 euro. But then you have to tax and pay them, in the worst case it is less net than before.

Or you just take 6 weeks of unpaid vacation.

Your AG is currently taking care of your health and that of your environment.

You could save electricity for 6 weeks.
