Minijob Timesheet 2026 Excel | Minimum Wage Act Time Tracking + 603 Euro Limit Monitor | For Employers & Small Businesses | Instant Download

📋 MINIJOB EMPLOYER SET 2026 — Keep track of timesheets, earnings limits and minimum wage

As an employer of mini-jobbers, you have record-keeping obligations under the Minimum Wage Act and must keep an eye on the €603 or €7,236 limit (2026) – otherwise, the mini-job will become a regular employment relationship subject to social security contributions overnight. This template combines timesheets, a limit indicator, a minimum wage check, and a vacation calculator in one place, with sample data for easy reference.

✔ WHAT'S INSIDE
• Instructions in simple German, with sample data
• Master data: all minijobbers with initials, hourly wage, agreed weekly hours and working days/week
• Timesheet (compliant with the Minimum Wage Act): Date, start, end, break — duration and month are calculated automatically; note regarding the 7-day recording period and 2-year retention period (§ 17 MiLoG)
• Earnings limit monitor: Monthly earnings per month vs. €603, annual total vs. €7,236 (2026) — automatic traffic light (green/yellow/red)
• Minimum wage check: effective hourly wage (earnings ÷ hours) with warning below €13.90/hr (2026)
• Vacation entitlement calculator: pro-rata statutory minimum vacation based on working days/week, including sample table for 1–6 days

✔ FOR WHOM
Small businesses, restaurants, medical practices and private employers who employ minijobbers and want to accurately document hours, earnings limits and minimum wage without payroll software.

✔ FORMAT
Excel (.xlsx) — also works with Google Sheets and LibreOffice. Instant download after payment. All fields are fully customizable.

⚠ IMPORTANT & HONEST
This template does not replace payroll accounting or registration with the Minijob Center (for minijobs in private households, the household voucher procedure applies). It does not calculate social security or contribution payments. Higher rates than the statutory minimum wage may apply in cases of collective bargaining agreements or industry-specific minimum wages—this template does not automatically check for these. The limits are valid for 2026; from 2027 onwards, the minimum wage and minijob limits will increase again (annual updates planned). This is not legal advice; information is provided without guarantee.

Differentiation from our "Timesheet + Invoice Tracker": The timesheet is intended for freelancers who record their own project hours for their invoices. Conversely, this mini-job set is intended for employers who must comply with the mandatory documentation requirements for their employed mini-jobbers under the Minimum Wage Act — different target groups, different purpose.
