The start of the new year also saw an increase in the statutory minimum wage. Since 01 January, this is now at 9.19 € per hour. From 01.01.2020, the minimum wage will even rise to 9.35€. So far, so good. But in contrast to this, the minimum wage according to the German Temporary Employment Act (Arbeitnehmerüberlassungsgesetz), which is applied in the temporary employment industry, is already 9.49€ in both the new and the old federal states.
Statutory minimum wage lower than entry-level wage in temporary employment
While the statutory minimum wage will not rise again until 2020, there are in the temporary employment industry this year even two more increases on April 01 and October 01. As a result, entry-level wages in the lowest pay group (unskilled workers with on-the-job training) will rise to €9.66 in the east and €9.96 in the west. This means that the collectively agreed minimum wage for temporary staffing is very low. Significantly and permanently above the statutory minimum wage.
Temporary work is fairer than the legislator
The statutory minimum wage is not only lower than the wage floor in temporary employment, but also does not apply to all employees. For example Long-term unemployed during the first six months of their employment after termination of unemployment No legal entitlement to minimum wage. Also teenagers without completed vocational training are not entitled to the statutory minimum wage, e.g. as part of vacation work or in training. In temporary employment, on the other hand, allEmployees from the 1st day a payment above the minimum wage, i.e. at least 9.49€. Employment through Franz & Wach is therefore often a good opportunity for both the long-term unemployed and young vacation jobbers. imputed income.
Additional earnings through industry surcharges
However, most employees in temporary work receive a Significantly higher wage. 46% of temporary workers alone benefit from so-called industry surcharges. This means that they work in sectors for which the collective bargaining partners have agreed on Industry surcharge agreements (BZTV) have been concluded. This is the case, for example, in the metal, electrical, plastics, wood, chemical and some other sectors.
These BZTV provide for a multi-stage wage increase in order to achieve a wage level (equal pay) after 15 months at the latest, which is also received by the regular employees of the company where the work is carried out. For example, in the metalworking and electrical industries Wage increases after 6 weeks, and after 3, 5, 7, 9 and 15 months respectively.
