Many students take on short-term employment. But what does this actually mean in detail, and how important is employment?
In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about the 70-day rule for short-term mini-jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The time limit for short-term employment was raised from 50 days to 70 days in 2015. With a 5-day week, this means a maximum continuous working period of 3 months for each job.
This regulation, which was initially limited until 31 December 2018, will now also apply in 2019 following the introduction of the Qualification Opportunities Act on 18 December 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though the law was primarily created to attract foreign seasonal workers during the harvest season, students in particular benefit from the longer working hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both employees and employers must pay contributions, as otherwise the floodgates would be open to undeclared work.
However, the tax burden is limited and for many people in marginal employment it is fully refundable via the tax return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tax class selected in the tax return applies to income tax. For reasons of simplification, the flat rate of 25 % is usually used for short-term employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, depending on the income earned, students who are in short-term employment may receive a refund of the income tax paid at the end of the year. The prerequisite for this is always the preparation of a tax return. In 2019, the tax-free allowance is \u20ac9,168 for single people. For married couples, the basic tax-free allowance is doubled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every employer is obliged to declare all employment. In the context of a mini-job, this means registering for statutory accident insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, there is a levy to compensate for illness and during pregnancy or maternity. However, these levies, known as U1 and U2, account for only 0.9 and 0.24 % of pay respectively, and the supplementary insolvency benefit levy only 0.06 %.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For every short-term activity, the question arises as to what extent this is also counted as short-term work within the meaning of the law. If you are working for a limited period of time, you should therefore take a closer look at the 70-day rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the case of short-term employment, all days worked are calculated. For example, if a student job lasts 4 weeks from Monday to Friday, there are 20 days of short-term employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same applies if the job is only carried out for 4 days per week, so that after 4 weeks only 16 days of capacity have been used up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Each day started counts as a full day even if only 2 hours were worked.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n All employment is generally subject to compulsory insurance. Mini-jobs and short-term employment are the exception here. However, this only applies as long as the job is not intended to be the sole means of subsistence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is always the case if benefits are claimed from the Federal Employment Agency. As a student, this is generally unproblematic as long as the 70-day rule is observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to benefit from the exemption from social security contributions, it does not matter how many different jobs you have. The 3-month or 70-day rule must be observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you work 3 jobs in parallel, each lasting 23 days a year, you do not exceed the limits, meaning that short-term employment is not considered to be subject to social security contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TRUST Promotion will pay your income tax for you and you will receive your payslip at the end of the month.
