below minimum wage is not a petty offense traffic planners
From Oberlandesgericht Naumburg (Saxony Anhalt) first time in Germany, an employer because of unpaid minimum wages, were sentenced in court. In the meantime revision process for unpaid minimum wage has said the "Judge of collection" the conviction of a contractor certified to a fine. The judges therefore withdrew its appeal against a decision of the District Court of Magdeburg. This is the first time in Germany, an entrepreneur who had not paid the minimum wage, for a crime and not convicted of a misdemeanor. The accused contractor had employed from August 2004 to January 2006 Eastern European immigrants as a so-called mini-jobbers for monthly wages of between 60 to 170 euros. The district court Magdeburg saw previously been shown to be at that the cleaners had to work two weeks a month in twelve-hour shifts. The hourly wage was paid to be between 1.79 euros and less than one euro (!!!). At that time, was the way, the legal minimum wage for cleaning workers but already at least € 7.68 per hour. According to the court would have the workers thus allowed a salary of around 1,290 euros, the computing giant juror Adam! Unfortunately, the Magdeburger judge sentenced the business in July of this year just to pay a fine of 1,000 €, as it wages have withheld and misappropriated to maximize its profit. The entrepreneur is now a criminal record. The Higher Regional Court of Naumburg, however, justified its decision on appeal so that the examination of the Magdeburg appeal no error of law to the detriment of the accused had shown. The judges confirmed but also that was made for Social Security is a settlement amounting to € 69,000 because the convicted only of the contributions actually paid wages and not paid from the minimum wage had. Guess that would be more then a zero behind the 1000 € fine was more appropriate than, do not you think? Or better still would have been had he been sentenced to 2 months time to have to work themselves to the salary. And of course in the said 2 months, "may" really live only by that of wages!
As a cultural tip I give you today the story of the times, "Oh, great wages in Germany." Because according to the Federal Statistics Office in Wiesbaden, Germany, labor costs in the last ten years, much slower than in other EU countries increased. While labor costs 2000-2010 for example in the Netherlands rose 39.0 percent, the labor more expensive in the German private sector, only 19.4 percent. The wage labor costs increased in the last decade than in any other EU country as slow as in Germany. While the statisticians calculated in Germany increased by 9.5 percent, led to the EU average, an increase of 38.5 percent. Also, the increase of German wages and salaries is at 22.4 percent in the bottom of the table of statistics. The total labor costs, which are way gross wages and salaries plus wage costs, climbed the most in comparison to the comparatively poor Romania, plus 485.4 percent, in Latvia (up 207.4 percent), Estonia (up 153.5 percent) and Bulgaria ( plus 138.2 percent). So much for the myth of cheap Eastern European production site!
