How much an employee gets paid is usually regulated in an employment contract.

This specifies how much money is earned per month or per hour. It is important for you to know whether you are covered by a collective agreement, because collective agreements can also contain rules on wages. Seek advice from a Fair Integration advice centre.

Some industries have an industry statutory  minimum wage, e.g. the electrical trade or the cleaning sector. There is also a statutory minimum wage in Germany. 

When does the statutory minimum wage change?

The statutory minimum wage increases regularly. Therefore, always inform yourself about the current statutory minimum wage.
