Are you carrying out construction work in Germany? Then you are likely subject to the obligation to participate in the German holiday fund SOKA-BAU and to comply with collective wage agreements. Specific rules apply to Czech construction companies sending workers to Germany:
- Minimum wage: You must comply with the wage levels according to the relevant German collective agreements for the respective sector.
- SOKA-BAU contributions: You are required to pay contributions from the gross wages of employees to the German holiday fund.
- Entitlement to compensation: Employees subsequently gain the right to compensation for unused vacation directly from this fund.
Why it is important: German regulatory authorities place great emphasis on these contributions. Errors in reports or underpayments can lead to high fines and complications with future contracts.
Our tip: We will check whether the SOKA-BAU obligation applies to your activities and ensure complete administration related to registration and contributions.
