German Payroll & Social Security Prep

What it does

This skill streamlines the preparation of monthly payroll for law firm staff. It focuses on gathering necessary data, verifying compliance with German social security laws (SGB IV, V, VI) and tax laws (EStG), and preparing a clean handover package for payroll software like DATEV or external tax consultants.

When to use it

Use this skill during the end-of-month payroll cycle. It is triggered when an agent needs to compile brute salary data, handle bonuses, manage minijobber specifics, or prepare reports for the German social security/tax authorities.

What's included

• A triage process to identify affected employees and special payments.
• Reference to key legal norms including the Minimum Wage Act (MiLoG) and social security laws.
• Detailed checklists for capturing payroll data: working hours, bonuses, absences, and tax classes.
• A structured monthly workflow from personnel check to the creation of a payment and approval list.
• Strict "stop signs" for critical events like new hires, maternity leave, or missing tax IDs.
