We prepare employee and workplace information for notifications through Meldeportal-Mindestlohn. We help organise updates and documents needed for enquiries from the authority.
The registration obligation when posting workers
Every foreign company that posts workers to carry out work in Germany is required to make the appropriate registration with the German customs office (Zollamt). This obligation stems from the German Act on Combating Illegal Employment and Social Abuse (Schwarzarbeitsbekämpfungsgesetz) and from the rules on the posting of workers.
The purpose of the registration is to ensure transparency of employment, compliance with minimum-wage regulations, and oversight of the legality of foreign nationals' work in Germany. It is one of the key conditions for legally compliant posting.
Notification and update deadlines
Registrations must be made before work begins in Germany. Where there are changes - such as working hours, location, or the end of the posting - the data must be updated.
We help track agreed deadlines and prepare updates using the information you provide. Changes concerning employees and assignments are handled within the agreed scope of support.
The scope of our service
- Registering the company in the German customs office's electronic system (Meldeportal-Mindestlohn, the minimum-wage reporting portal) - setting up the company account and preparing the necessary data and registration documents.
- Registering posted workers - entering the required information on the period of employment, the place and type of work, the details of the person authorised to represent the company in Germany, and the worker's details.
- Monitoring mandatory registration deadlines and data updates - registrations before work begins and updates upon any change (working hours, location, end of the posting).
- Preparing documentation in case of an inspection - reviewing and preparing the documents to be presented to the customs and tax authorities (e.g. contracts, A1 documents, insurance certificates, working-time records, payroll documents).
- Organising documents and communication during inspections; legal advice and representation are provided by appropriately authorised partners.
