What is considered a Minijob?

Mini-jobs are marginal employment. There are two types of mini-jobs: 1) The €450 mini-job This mini-job is defined by the fact that it is permanent. The monthly wage may exceed €450 (for occasional unforeseeable pay increases of up to three months). 2) The short-term mini-job This marginal employment is limited to three months (70 working days) per year. This means that a further extension of the contract or the taking up of a new short-term mini-job is not possible within one year.
