European Employment Changes Create Weak-Dollar Opportunities
SUNNYVALE, Calif. (Business Wire EON) July 2, 2008 -- A number of countries have introduced some type of sweetener for their workers who work overtime including;
Austria ? In Austria, overtime pay, which is in addition to basic pay for working overtime, is (within limits) exempt from tax. This is conditional on the payment by the employer being a legal obligation contained in either an individual employment contract or a collective bargaining agreement.
France ? In France, payment for overtime can now be paid tax-free at all levels of employees.
Germany ? Germany does not regard compensation for overtime work as part of regular income. It is not therefore subject to deductions for mandatory health insurance.
Italy ? Last month the Italian government promised to reduce taxes on overtime.
Luxembourg ? This year in Luxembourg introduced total tax exemptions for overtime pay and on extra pay for working nights, Sundays and public holidays.
These regulations encourage employees to work additional hours while simultaneously putting more money into their pocket. From a U.S. company's perspective and given the rise of the Euro, this is a welcome change since it may enable a company to negotiate lower pay rates with new employees.
