Additional Cost Compensation
The additional cost compensation jobs are often called Ein-Euro-Job (One Euro jobs) by some because the „additional cost compensation“ is about one Euro per hour. It can differ from 1.00 € to 2.50 €. The compensation is not considered a wage, so it is not taken from the unemployment benefit. The pension is calculated using the average earnings. This means that the more people there are working with additional cost compensation the lower the average pension. Furthermore, this means less money to spend for pensions; aim, in Germany, welfare country to the pension of everyone who is on welfare and able to work.
