Business operational assistance ("Betriebshilfe"), Betriebshilfen
Business operational assistance ("Betriebshilfe") is a social benefit and represents a feature of the agricultural social security. As far as the maintenance of a business is jeopardized because of inability to work of the businessman or a family member, who works in the business, the business operational assistance is ensured by the authority in charge. The business operational assistant completes exclusively urgent tasks, for example milking or harvest. The aim is to ensure the continuation of the agricultural business, as income basis for the agricultural businessmen. The operational assistance can be added by granting of a domestic helper. The institutions of the agricultural social insurance realize the business operational assistance as non-cash benefit basically by own business operational assistants. If no suitable substitute person can be provided, the costs for an external self-acquired substitute person are reimbursed. Depending on the reason of medically confirmed inability to work the responsibility is borne by the agricultural employer's liability insurance association ("landwirtschaftliche Berufsgenossenschaft") (occupational accident, occupational disease), by the agricultural health insurance (for example illness, pregnancy) or by the agricultural old-age insurance ("landwirtschaftliche Alterskasse") (e.g. rehabilitation benefits according to SGB VI). The agricultural old-age insurances ("landwirtschaftliche Alterskasse") also bear the business operational assistance for agricultural businesses in the case of disease, if the agricultural businessman is not insured in an agricultural health insurance because of legal regulations. Depending on the service institutions in charge and the reason co-payments or the maximum duration of the service may vary. The maximum duration of the service depends on the reason for granting and amounts to between three months (disease) and two years (death of the businessman).(Source: www.wikipedia.de, own translation)
