Obligatory notification when workers are posted

Foreign-domiciled employers posting workers to Germany to carry out work or to provide a service must comply with a number of rules for giving notification of their posted workers.

Notifications using the Minimum Wage Notification Portal
With the new Ordinance on Minimum Wage Reporting Obligations (Mindestlohnmeldeverordnung) coming into force on 1 January 2017 employers domiciled outside Germany are required to submit notifications of workers posted to Germany online using the Minimum Wage Notification Portal. The same applies to businesses that use workers leased from an agency domiciled outside Germany. The notification portal can be accessed via the German Customs website www.zoll.de (under the "Services and databases" section) or directly at www.meldeportal-mindestlohn.de. Notifications may still be submitted by fax to the usual number during a transitional period only until 30 June 2017.
