Sending workers to Germany? Its requirements are built in.
In Germany, customs enforces the minimum wage on site, and a company can answer for pay owed further down its chain. Obtempera's German template is built around both.
The template for Germany asks for
- Customs notification
- A1 certificate
- Documents in German
- Supplier declaration
- SOKA-BAU (construction)
- + Your own additions
Why Germany is complex
Germany: customs checks the pay, and liability runs up the chain.
Germany's statutory minimum wage covers everyone from their first hour, and customs (Zoll) enforces it on site, often without notice.
Notified to customs
In construction and other listed sectors, postings are notified to customs before work starts.
Sector minimums
Several building trades, from roofing to scaffolding, have generally binding minimum pay above the statutory rate.
Chain liability
A company can be liable if a firm it hires, or one further down, fails to pay the minimum wage.
The solution
Ready to go for Germany.
Chain liability makes the companies below you part of your own compliance, so the German template reaches through your supply chain.
- 01 · Customs notification firstWhere the sector needs one, the customs notification is requested before work begins.
- 02 · Every tier visibleEach company in your supply chain completes its declaration and adds its workers, tier by tier.
- 03 · Documents in GermanWorkers upload their A1 and other papers from their phone, with the German versions inspectors expect.
- 04 · Ready for a customs visitReviewers check each item, so the proof behind every status is there when the FKS arrives unannounced.
