Germany: statutory minimum wage rises to €14.60/hour

Mis muutub

The statutory minimum wage rises again on 1 January 2027, to €14.60 gross per hour, the second step confirmed by the same Fünfte Mindestlohnanpassungsverordnung (MiLoV5), published in the Bundesgesetzblatt on 2025-11-07. Unlike some earlier cycles, both the 2026 and 2027 steps are already fixed by regulation, not merely proposed.
