Employee appointment
A plain-English walkthrough of a new or amended German part-time contract before you sign, focused on clauses that affect day-to-day work.
What we will cover →Flagship consultation
A structured review of contract terms, regular earnings, variable hours, time records, paid leave, and the practical effect of Germany’s current mini-job rules.
What we will cover →Employer working session
A working session for owner-managed businesses checking one role’s hours, pay components, records, leave handling, and payroll instructions.
What we will cover →The flagship consultation
We map the facts against the contract, statutory thresholds, time records, and payroll treatment—then separate urgent corrections from points to monitor.
Client experience
“My hours changed every month and I could not tell whether the mini-job ceiling was being applied correctly. The consultation showed me which payroll months mattered and gave me three precise questions for my employer.”Read more client stories →
A measured approach
Employment status depends on the actual arrangement, not one label on a contract. We ask about regular pay, fluctuating hours, concurrent jobs, recording practices, and the intended duration before offering a practical view.
Useful before you call
Changing shifts do not remove the need for a clear agreement. Learn which records help explain regular earnings and actual working time.
