Minimum hourly wage
I wonder if someone knows the answer (I have Googled but it's not clear) -
What should the minimum wage be for a 19 year old temporary worker?
I have read that the new minimum wage (in 2019) is now 1050€ per month (paid 12 times per year). This, I think, equates to about 6,06€ per hour.
It's just that my son has just been asked to sign a contract where the actual figure isn't mentioned but states the salary will be "legal". When he queried, he was told it would be 300€ per month (gross) for a 15 hour week (equating to about 4,61€ per hour). The contract seems quite flaky in that it doesn't mention what he will be paid, when or how. Having worked for two weeks without the contract (boss was away on business), he was asked to cover some hours of another worker who was on holiday. He asked about how these would be paid and was told to take to take time off in lieu! Surely he should get paid for these as they equated to 20 hours?
Where can he go to find out the legal situation?
