22 Jan 2026 Logistics business: fines for minimum wage, reporting and foreign employment violations GermanyMinimum wage and undeclared work €13,731

Between June and December 2023, a logistics and transport business withheld a total of around 2,000 EUR in minimum wages from several employees, breached reporting and immediate notification obligations, and in July/August 2023 employed a foreign national without a residence permit. The fines: 5,231 EUR (minimum wage), 750 EUR each (reporting obligations) and 7,000 EUR (unauthorised employment of foreign nationals), totalling 13,731 EUR (date = publication).

What organisations can take from it

Even small wage arrears are penalised individually alongside reporting and residence violations – HR processes for new hires need a fixed checklist.
