Your Employer of Record for Minijobbers in Germany
Profit from marginal employment where gross equals net for your talents. You pay a simplified flat rate for all contributions, and as your Employer of Record, worknow handles the entire payroll and Minijob-Zentrale administration for you.
01. Requirements
Marginal Employment
A Minijob is a form of marginal employment where the regular monthly wage does not exceed the legal limit of €603.
Annual Earnings Limit
The strict monthly limit of €603 results in a maximum annual limit of €7,236. Fluctuations are possible but must be carefully monitored.
Minimum Wage Law
Even within a Minijob, the statutory minimum wage applies. As the minimum wage increases, the maximum allowed working hours per month must be adjusted.
02. Benefits at a Glance
Flat-Rate Contributions
Instead of complex individual calculations, employers pay a simplified flat rate for health and pension insurance, as well as taxes.
Minijob-Zentrale
All registrations, deregistrations, and contribution statements must be processed exclusively through the central Minijob authority.
Maximum Flexibility
Perfect for scaling your team during peak seasons, covering project-based tasks, or hiring part-time support.
