Minijob, Midijob, Teilzeit: Modelle und Grenzen

Three work models compared: Minijob: up to 556€/month, tax-free for you, employer pays flat contributions. No hour limit, only wage limit. Midijob: 556-2000€/month, reduced social contributions, full pension points. Part-time: up to 30 h/week common, normal contributions, right under Part-Time Act. Combinations: minijob alongside main job usually ok (ask employer!). Two minijobs: max 556€ combined. Important: transition zone protects against contribution jump.
