Karlstadt (dpa / lby) - The Main-Spessart district office monitors employees in the field with GPS tracking devices.
When asked on Thursday, a spokeswoman confirmed that “a few employees” have a tracking device with them.
The "Main-Post" had previously reported.
The reason was "massive irregularities" in the past.
The aim was to «prevent further violations of labor law».
The employees would only have the devices with them in the field and not during the breaks.
In addition, according to the spokeswoman, it is a time-limited measure.
A former and now retired head of the building supervisory authority in Main-Spessart had told the “Main-Post”: “Even shared breaks at work and coffee rounds were prohibited.
Private cell phones have to be switched off. "
He relies on statements from long-term employees.
