Calculation and payment of the minimum wage

The minimum wage is an hourly gross wage that, because of the mandatory nature of Articles 1 and 20 MiLoG, must be calculated and disbursed as a monetary consideration. Remuneration in the form of payments in kind, that is, as benefits provided by the employer by way of consideration for the performance of work in a form other than money, is fundamentally not permitted. The sole exception to this principle concerns the remuneration of seasonal workers to the extent that their board and lodging may count towards the minimum wage. The option that non-monetary benefits provided by the employer may be included in the calculation is indeed given for seasonal workers, but only as concerns the Minimum Wage Act, not though in the context of the Posted Workers Act or the Provision of Temporary Workers Act.
