The minimum wage for temporary or agency workers increases to 10.88 euros per hour.
This is above the generally applicable minimum wage in Germany.
The prices in the supermarket, for heating and refueling have risen significantly.
What changes for many employees when they look at the
payslip
?
There are some innovations this year,
especially with regard to the
minimum wage .
Company nursing assistants
and
temporary workers
, for example, can expect higher wages, as reported by Bayerischer Rundfunk.
The
minimum wage for temporary or agency workers
increases to 10.88 euros per hour on April 1 from previously 10.45 euros.
The report also states that this should only be an intermediate step.
As is well known, the general minimum wage is to be raised to 12 euros per hour from October 2022.
For nursing assistants, it is "already so high," says
BR.de
;
for qualified nursing assistants "even at 12.50 euros and for nursing staff at 15 euros".
Minimum wage increases in some sectors on April 1, 2022
“From the first of April, wages in care will increase again.
Then to 12.55 euros, 13.20 euros and 15.40 euros ,
” writes
BR.de.
However, this only applies to nursing staff who are employed in companies.
"Anyone who works as a caregiver in a private household, for example, will continue to only receive the statutory minimum wage of currently 9.82 euros."
Statutory minimum wage of 12 euros per hour from October 1, 2022
While the
generally applicable minimum wage in Germany
is currently EUR 9.82,
an adjustment to EUR 10.45 is already planned for July 1st
.
On October 1, the level of the lower wage limit is then to be raised once to
12 euros
outside of the usual increase steps.
According to Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD), more than six million employees should benefit from this.
The higher statutory minimum wage also has a corresponding effect on pensions.
Civil servants
can also expect “a wage increase of around 1.8 percent” from April 2022, as
BR.de
further reported.
Mini job: Earnings limit will increase on October 1, 2022
As part of the minimum wage increase, the
upper earnings limit for mini-jobbers
will also be adjusted: the mini-job limit will rise
from 450 euros
to 520 euros per month
on October 1st
.
2022: From salary to sick leave - that changes for employees
This year, however, many employees have come across other innovations – or are yet to come.
Here you can find out what will change in 2022 in terms of salary or, for example, sick leave for many employees.
In addition, many employees should soon benefit from the so-called energy flat rate: Every
employee
who is subject to income tax and who is classified in tax brackets 1-5 should receive the flat rate of a one-time gross amount of 300 euros.
The
money is paid out by the employer as a salary subsidy
,
for the self-employed the advance tax payment is reduced instead
.
The lump sum is subject to income tax.
