Instead of “Gleitzone” from July…
The previous sliding zone, in which employees with a monthly wage of more than 450 euros to 850 euros pay reduced employee contributions to social security, will be expanded by an amending law to up to 1,300 euros as of July 1, 2019, and renamed the “transition zone.”
In this context, employees receive a reduction in contributions for health, nursing care, pension and unemployment insurance, which amounts to a total of approx. 43 euros for a monthly wage of 451 euros and is reduced to 0 euros up to the upper end of the sliding zone or transitional area.
For pay periods beginning July 1, 2019, a modified formula will be used for the calculation. This also results in further minor contribution savings in the lower part of the transition area. At 850 euros, the contribution reduction is then about 23 euros per month.
It should also be noted that as of July 2019, the pension insurance contribution in the transitional area for employees will generally be reduced, without lower pension benefits being expected later as a result. A waiver by the employee of the application of the sliding zone regulation in pension insurance to avoid disadvantages under pension law is no longer necessary and therefore no longer provided for.
