The household cheque procedure is a simplified registration and social security contribution process for private households. You must fill out the household cheque form if you would like to register or de-register domestic employees on a mini-job basis or if you need to send amendments in employment details to the Mini-Job Centre.
Mini-jobs in private households are a special form of marginal employment. They are particularly encouraged by the state through low social security contributions, a flat-rate wage tax and tax relief.
The employer uses the household cheque form to register the essential details about employees in their private households. On this basis, the Mini-Job Centre calculates the social security contributions, levies and taxes. These amounts are deducted from your account via direct debit every 6 months. The Mini-Job Centre also takes responsibility for registering for statutory accident insurance and collecting accident insurance contributions.
