Punctual payment of wages

Companies generally pay either hourly wages or so-called flat-rate wages. When paying flat-rate wages, the employer pays the same fixed amount every month. In this model, the employer knows at all times what each employee will receive at the end of the month. He can therefore pay the salary on time in the correct amount so that it arrives in your account on time at the end of the month. This is more complicated with hourly wages. In this case, each employee receives the agreed hourly wage for exactly the hours they have worked in a month. For example, 192 hours multiplied by the gross hourly wage. However, with hourly wages, the employer does not yet know how many hours each employee will have worked in the last week of the month to be settled at the time when the companies with flat-rate wages can settle the wages. Many employers with hourly wage models therefore initially pay a wage that corresponds to the average wage of the previous month and then in the following month calculate the actual hours worked in the current month. Other companies work with fixed deductions at a certain level of the average wage. The actual hours are then added in the following month. There is therefore a shift for a small part of the wage, but this is canceled out over time, because the hours from the previous month that were not included are added back in each current month. Another option is that wages are always settled and paid in the middle of the month. Here too, it is important that the wages are paid into your account on time. Then you can be sure that you can pay your bills on time.

A prerequisite for the fairerjob@logistik seal is that the employer pays at least 90% of the average wage at the end of the month. Alternatively, it is also permissible for the employer to pay wages regularly in the middle of the month.
