New minimum wage from 1 January 2022

16/11/2021

On 1 July 2020, the Minimum Wage Commission recommended that the statutory minimum wage be adjusted gradually. As a result, it was raised from a gross amount of €9.35 to €9.50 from 1 January 2021. It was further increased to €9.60 on 1 July 2021 and will then be adjusted to €9.82 on 1 January 2022 and to €10.45 from 1 July 2022.

The statutory minimum wage applies to all employees over the age of 18. Under certain conditions, interns are also entitled to receive the minimum wage. However, certain employees, such as trainees, volunteers or participants in a job promotion scheme, are excluded from minimum wage protection.

Please note! Where there are contracts with mini-jobbers, a review must be carried out to determine whether the low-income threshold of € 450 per month will be exceeded once minimum wage is adjusted.
