Aussetzung der Kontrolle und Ahndung von Verstößen nach dem Mindestlohngesetz
Germany – Minimum wage (Mindestlohn)
Germany has decided to limit the obligation of employers to record the working hours of employees to those employees earning less than 2.000€ / month for the last 12 months. Before, employers had to record the working hours for all employees earning less than 2.958€ / month. There is also no obligation to record working hours of family members working in the family business.
To note, the recording obligations and possible penalties for non-compliance with the minimum wage obligations are still suspended for purely transit operations of goods and passenger transport through Germany, until the European Commission has cleared the question whether the minimum wage legislation is compatible with European law.
ECTAA sekretariát:
" We have checked on the internet and the provisional measures for transit operations are still applicable. I expect them to be applicable until the infringement proceedings initiated by the Commission against Germany are closed. To my understanding they are still ongoing.
As regards your question, I think the provisional measures are quite clear when referring to purely transit operations. I would expect a package travel through Germany, where customers hop on and off the bus to visit Germany cannot qualify as transit operations.
Just to let you know that I spoke with IRU today, which confirmed that there are no developments in this matter. The exception for transit operations apply until the Commission closes the infringement proceedings."
