German Government increases minimum wage in 2020 - January 3, 2020

The statutory minimum wage for employees has been increased from €9.19 (in 2019) to €9.35 (in 2020) at the beginning of the new year.

From 2020, trainees will receive a minimum wage of €515 in the first year. After that it will steadily continue to rise. An increase in the minimum wage in nursing and health care professions is also planned.

According to the government, this should lead to better pay for nursing staff, either through a regional collective agreement or higher minimum wage limits.
