Mini-job limit should be based on a weekly working time of 10 hours
In the future, the mini-job limit should be based on a
weekly working time of 10 hours at minimum wage
conditions, according to the coalition agreement between the SPD, the Greens and the FDP.
Increasing the mini-job earnings limit is also met with criticism
The planned increase in the earnings limit was also met with criticism: trade unions and politicians on the left warned, for example, that the increase to 520 euros posed the risk that mini -jobs
would increasingly crowd out regular jobs
, according to a dpa report on the subject.
In addition, mini-jobs would lead straight to poverty in old age due to the lack of entitlements to pension and unemployment insurance.
Instead, the left and unions advocated employment subject to social security contributions from the first euro.
Incidentally, the trainees can also look forward to a higher training allowance in 2022 - but not all of them.
