Minimum wage certificate
Secures your investment and payment receipt
For projects on German construction sites, many clients require proof that the statutory minimum wage is being complied with.
The minimum wage certificate serves precisely this purpose: it confirms in writing that your employees are being paid correctly in accordance with the applicable regulations and provides immediate clarity for clients.
If this proof is missing, it often leads to follow-up inquiries, delays, or withheld payments in practice.
What does the minimum wage certificate confirm?
A valid minimum wage certificate confirms that:
the statutory minimum wage is paid
the compensation is documented in a transparent manner
the requirements of the Minimum Wage Act are taken into account
For clients, it is an important part of their compliance review—for you, it is the basis for smooth project execution and timely payment.

Important information about the construction site
The minimum wage certificate does not replace actual supporting documentation during inspections—employment contracts, pay stubs, and work schedules are particularly important. However, it provides clarity and builds trust with the client in advance, significantly reducing the risk of follow-up inquiries or delays.
In addition, depending on the assignment, various documents must be kept on hand (e.g., identification documents, A1 certificates, posting notifications, assignment logs, and proof of contracts or insurance).
In practice, missing or incomplete documents quickly lead to queries and considerable additional work—even to the point of interruptions in operations or payment problems.
We ensure that all necessary documentation is available in a structured format and readily available at all times.
