6 changes in Germany in March 2025: Pensions will be slightly reduced, but 800,000 workers will get a pay rise. New rules will come into force in March 2025, which will also affect consumers.
Here is an overview of the most important changes.
From March 1, 2025, workers in the temporary work sector will receive a significant pay increase.
The minimum wage in this sector will increase by 3.8% to 14.53 euros per hour.
This amount is higher than the statutory minimum wage of 12.82 euros, the German Trade Union Confederation notes. The increase is part of a collective agreement that has already led to the first pay increase in October 2024.
