Minimum laceration: 6.6 million citizens benefit significantly!
Deutschland - In Germany there is currently a lot of conversation about the minimum wage. As reports Spiegel, around 6.6 million people benefit from the recent increase in the minimum wage. This increase to 12.82 euros per hour was implemented in January 2025 and thus has far -reaching effects on many employees and industries.
Since the introduction of the statutory minimum wage in 2015, which was then 8.50 euros, this is the first significant adaptation in height that affects many directly in the low -wage sector. This also includes the approximately 7.8 million marginally employees in Germany, of which 4.5 million do their mini job as the main activity. This new regulation has also increased the payment limit for mini jobs from 538 euros to 556 euros per month and enables many more air to be gained in a tense financial structure.
changes and exceptions
However, it is important to note that there are exceptions to the minimum wage regulation. Minors without a professional qualification, trainees and interns are excluded from paying a minimum wage. In addition, long -term unemployed people who are at least a year of job seeking are also freed from this rule in the first six months. These special features should be kept in mind because they can influence the structure of the labor market.Another central point is that the minimum wage commission, consisting of representatives of the employer and employee side, advises on the amount and adjustments of the minimum wage every five years. Your suggestions still have to be put into force by the Bundestag. The discussion about the minimum wage not only remains exciting at the political level, but also affects every hotel and restaurant, where the payment and appreciation of employees must be considered.
international comparison
In international comparison, German minimum wages are relatively good, especially when you see them at the highest in Europe. Luxembourg has the highest legal minimum wage with 14.86 euros, followed by countries such as the Netherlands and Ireland. Germany, with a minimum wage of 12.82 euros, is therefore in a good midfield with other European countries that also value a fair income policy.
The increase in the minimum wage not only has social policy dimensions, but is also closely observed by economists and the hospitality industry. In the end, everyone benefits - the employees and companies that offer fair wages. A good step in the right direction, which also does not leave the hotel industry untouched.
The development of the minimum wage and its effects will remain in focus. It remains exciting how the situation will develop in the coming years.
