Care for the elderly: minimum care wage increases

Care for the elderly: minimum care wage increases

Since this month, i.e. since May, the second of a total of three stages for higher minimum wages in elderly care has taken effect. This means that the nursing staff there receive more money for their work.

The minimum wage still differs according to the qualification of the staff and is now as follows:

  • auxiliary staff: 13.90 euros per hour
  • qualified nursing assistants: 14.90 euros per hour
  • qualified nursing staff: 17.65 euros per hour

This is good news for all interested parties. These increases mean that in some places care for the elderly pays significantly higher wages than in a hospital that pays according to the collectively agreed wage!
