What is the impact of the introduction of the minimum wage in the 24-hour care?

The introduction of the statutory minimum wage makes it problematic to send caregivers to Germany or here. According to § 18 of the ArbZg, the requirements and the Documentation requirements are loosened, however, employment of about 48 hours, is immoral. It is the on-call schedule makes this feasible, since it is easily affordable. Therefore, it may not be required in the posting model to a 24-hour presence of the caregivers. It can only be of the families hoped that the carer leaves the house so often and for a long time. Furthermore, many agencies had to raise their prices to the minimum wage law.

What are the specifics of the particular on the model of the employment of self-employed Care workers has?

On the model of self-employment, the minimum wage, fortunately, has no effect. By the independence, the care can make forces also night services and on-call service. The negotiations on the financial compensation is carried out alone between the client and the carer. The easing of § 18 Para. 1, sentence 3 of the ArbZg, no Documentation requirements, which expenses and the issue of the 10-year retention obligation is due to the large time difficult to implement for the self-employed Care workers.
