Legal notice — without warranty

Informational character of all law-related content

Shiftdesk supports you in organizing working hours, shifts, and personnel data. The notices shown in this application regarding the German Working Hours Act (ArbZG), the German Federal Leave Act (BUrlG), the minimum wage, mini-job thresholds, tax and social-security topics, as well as country-specific provisions in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland serve for informational orientation only.

What Shiftdesk does NOT provide

Shiftdesk does not constitute legal advice, tax advice, or social-security advice within the meaning of § 2 of the German Legal Services Act (RDG). The automatic checks in the compliance dashboard, in the schedule, and in the mini-job monitoring do not replace an employment-law assessment in the individual case.

What is NOT checked

The following rules are not automatically taken into account by Shiftdesk:

• Collective agreements and collectively agreed opening clauses (e.g. under §7 ArbZG)
• Works agreements
• Industry-specific exceptions, for example under §5 (2) ArbZG for hospitality, care, agriculture, broadcasting, and transport operations
• Individual-case arrangements and emergency exceptions (§14 ArbZG)
• Cantonal or regional rules in Austria and Switzerland
• The Youth Employment Protection Act, the Maternity Protection Act, and disability law (§208 SGB IX)

Legal status

Statutory thresholds (e.g. the minimum wage, the mini-job earnings threshold) change regularly. We do not warrant their currency or completeness. Shiftdesk updates the stored values to the best of its knowledge but cannot be held responsible for gaps in timing or configuration errors.

Who helps with binding information?

For binding legal or tax information, please turn to:

• A specialist lawyer for employment law or IT law
• A tax advisor or payroll office
• The Minijob-Zentrale (Knappschaft-Bahn-See) for mini-job questions
• The competent trade supervisory office (Gewerbeaufsichtsamt) for working-time questions

Disclaimer of liability

Liability for decisions that you or your company make on the basis of the notices displayed in Shiftdesk is excluded to the extent permitted by law. This concerns in particular:

• Fines under §22 ArbZG or other employment-law provisions
• Back-claims from social-security institutions where mini-job thresholds are exceeded
• Tax consequences of incorrect payroll
• Damages resulting from delayed or omitted updates of statutory thresholds

Final responsibility for the employment- and social-law compliance of your company rests with the employer.
