Christmas money check: This is how trainees and mini-jobbers secure their right!

In the district of Recklinghausen there is a call to all employees: The "Christmas money check" is indicated! The Trade Union Food Guest Gaststics (NGG) calls on all employees to check carefully whether they are entitled to the additional special payment, especially trainees and mini-jobbers who often go out empty. Martin Mura, Managing Director of the NGG Ruhr area, points out that there are always bosses who "forget" these payments, even though they are contractually agreed. Anyone who works in a company that pays Christmas bonus is also a minor entitled to it. The amount of the Christmas bonus varies depending on working hours and service and can be between 250 and 550 euros in bakeries in the circle, according to the NGG.

Not only in the catering trade there are tips for checking the Christmas bonus. In the hospitality industry, especially February 29, it is pointed out to which employees should assert their claims. Martin Mura notes that many employers, especially in smaller companies, tend to overlook the special annual payment. It is advisable to examine the payroll by last year to ensure that the Christmas bonus has actually been paid. If not, those affected should urgently contact their boss, preferably in writing and by the end of February at the latest, so as not to let the claim expire.

Christmas bonus - a right for everyone!

In the district of Recklinghausen, all employees who work in the company are entitled to receive Christmas bonuses. This applies to everyone, from chefs to waiters to employees in housekeeping. The Christmas bonus is not a voluntary gift from the employer, but a legally guaranteed claim of the employees. The NGG would like to encourage employees to defend themselves against the so-called “Christmas money muffle” so that nobody has to do without the money they are entitled to.

For further details on the requirements and the procedure for the Christmas money check, interested parties can contact the NGG in order to assert their claims in good time and to avoid financial bottlenecks during the Christmas season. It is crucial to know and enforce your own rights not to endanger the special payments, as already from Neue-gladbecker-zeitung.de described.
