Whether for childcare or to help with cleaning or laundry - for such tasks, many rely on household help.
A higher statutory minimum wage has been in effect since January 1, 2022.
And that also applies to mini-jobbers* - regardless of whether they are employed in the
commercial sector
or in the
private household
, as the consumer advice center NRW informs on its website.
The statutory minimum wage rose this year from EUR 9.60 to EUR 9.82 per hour.
On July 1, 2022, it is to be increased again by a further 63 cents to EUR 10.45 per hour.

Mini-jobs: Adjusting the number of hours as a result of the higher minimum wage
In case of doubt, the
number of hours for a mini
-job must be reduced, according to the consumer advice center.
After all, marginal employment is still only allowed to earn a
maximum of 450 euros per month
.
"If the employment is to continue as a 450-euro mini-job, the working hours must therefore be recalculated from the turn of the year in order to remain under the earnings cap.
Otherwise, the employment relationship will be subject to social security contributions,” said their contribution from November with a view to the year 2022.
There is another innovation for employers: since this year, the
tax ID of mini-jobbers
has to be reported, as the mini-job center informed.
Read here what that means in concrete terms.

Registration at the Minijob-Zentrale
For example , in order not to employ
domestic
help on the black market, they must be registered with the
mini-job center
, as the German pension insurance also explains in principle, according to the German Press Agency (dpa).
The
quickest way to
register with the Minijob-Zentrale is online.
The mini-job center then takes on the majority of the employer's obligations, reports dpa on the subject, "for example, calculating and collecting taxes and reporting on accident insurance".
Tax: Employers can deduct part of the expenses
In addition, mini-jobbers thus acquire
claims to benefits from the statutory pension insurance
.
In return, according to dpa,
employers
can deduct 20 percent of the total expenditure, up to a maximum of 510 euros per year, from their
taxes
.
