Arbeitsrecht: Nackt im Nebenjob: Darf mein Chef mir OnlyFans verbieten?
Nach Feierabend sexy im Netz unterwegs: Was Beschäftigte wissen müssen, wenn sie erotische Inhalte von sich selbst im Internet verbreiten.
The question of whether employers can prohibit employees from engaging in certain online activities, particularly those involving nudity, is a complex one. In general, employers have limited ability to interfere with employees' private lives, especially during non-working hours. Volker Görzel, a labor law attorney in Cologne, states that employees should generally be free to show themselves nude online in their spare time.
The employer should not interfere with the private lives of their employees unless they suspect that the employee's actions could damage the company's reputation. This could include the possibility of customers discovering the employee on such platforms or if the employee is a well-known public figure associated with the company.
Any such activities, however, must be disclosed to the employer if they generate commercial income as they would fall under the category of a secondary job, which must be reported to the employer. The employer must typically approve such secondary employment unless their interests are affected.
