Mini job center
The mini job center is the central collection and reporting point for all marginal employment in Germany. The federal authority with its headquarters in Essen and locations in Gelsenkirchen and Cottbus is affiliated with the Deutsche Rentenversicherung Knappschaft-Bahn-See .
The mini job center receives reports on social security and collects the taxes for all marginal employment, carries out the household check procedure for mini jobs in private households and takes over the registration for the statutory accident insurance for mini jobs in private households. It also provides information and advice to both employers and mini-jobbers. Since 2014 it has offered a job portal for mini jobs with the household job exchange .
history
The mini-job center was introduced as a central office on April 1, 2003 on the basis of the laws for modern services on the labor market, which changed the mini- job regulations as part of the Hartz concept for reforming the labor market . Previously, the individual (over 300) health insurance companies and the responsible (approx. 700) tax offices were responsible for collecting contributions and taxes . The new regulations resulted in simplifications for employers .
From April 1, 2003, the minijob center was run by the Federal Miners' Union. As a result of the merger with two other social security agencies on October 1, 2005, the Federal Knappschaft was renamed the Deutsche Rentenversicherung Knappschaft-Bahn-See , which has since carried out the mini-job center.
On October 30, 2014, the household job exchange went online as the official job portal of the mini-job center. It includes mini-jobs in private households and is aimed at private individuals who are looking for support or a job in the household. The job offers and job requests relate to the areas of home, garden, childcare, support for the elderly and care for pets.
