Hello 😁

Most of the Masters's students have questions regarding Part-Time work on a student visa. How days and hours are calculated. (Sorry...Big Message)

Here is the observation when I was a working student for the past year 2019. (This is solely based on my experience not taken from any source or document. Please ask/check with your respective enterprise about the counting policy).

Don't go by Days- After all its Hours only

On a Student visa, you can work only 960 Hours which is Equivalent to 120 Full Days or 240 Half days.

8 Hours Count as a full day. 4 hours count as Half day.

But let me explain. (Most part-time employers use a cycle of 20 hours of week) 4 weeks a month -> 80 Hours.
#Scenario-1
Consider 4 days you are working in a week.

So if you worked Monday 6 hours, Tuesday 6 Hours and Thursday 4 and Friday 4 hours then--> Total 20 hours and workday counts are 2.5 days.

So it depends on how many hours work in total. Just divide them by 4 to get Half days and by 8 to get full days.

#Scenario-2
suppose in a random month you worked 96 hours then

So your days will be calculated as 12 days(Full) or 24 Days (Half).

Scenario-3
According to Visa, 120 days Full is equivalent to 6 months and 240 half days equivalent to a year. (Working days in a month are always 20 or 21 considering sat-sun off)

Paid Vacations- In My case, the given vacation counted as hours. I took 10 Full days vacation and (My Employer) counted them as 80 hours and paid me. The cases can be varied by the employer to the employer.

-----------
Exemptions-

1. Internship hours are doesn't count. (I heard but not sure as I never did)
2. Thesis in company working hours Doesn't count. (Please check this with the respective company or institution as to how your contract is done)
3. University campus working hours don't count. (Check with the respective person in UNI who gives you job contract)

Also, you can spend your 960 hours however you like...means you can finish them in either 4 months (Doing Double work) or 8 months.

Also one thing. When your tax gets deducted more than a regular threshold then you will get to know you exceeded the hours.

Tax Year-> 1st of January to 31st December. (Hours get reset to Zero next day after 31st December)

I hope this helps. 👍😁

Any additional comments are welcome. Please correct me at any point if some information is missing/wrong as this observation purely based on personal experience.

Thank you 😉

Daylight saving is just a human induced custom. During Spring, northern hemisphere receives more daylight due to the earths tilt and it is tilted towards the sun.. so longer days and shorter nights. So inorder to ensure more working hours and to make most use of it.. the clocks are turned forward in Spring and it is compensated by turning it backward in Autumn..

3.1st Year of Bachelors in India ▶️ Bachelors in Germany
In This Path:
You Can Complete 1st year of Bachelors in Indian (Anabin Recognized) University. Then Apply for an English Taught Program, fly to Germany, Start the Bachelor's program !
*Important: In case of German taught program you will have to prove sufficient German proficiency(though Studienkolleg isn't required)!

4.JEE Advanced ▶️ Bachelor's in Germany
In this path:

*Important: This Pathway is not recommendable, but the ones highly confident over their German, as well as Mathematics/Science Skills and don't wanna give one more year in Studienkolleg can go through this pathway!

*Remember: One Student is given only two Chances to Clear FSP!

6.Private Studienkolleg ▶️Bachelor's
In this Path:
Tou can apply for private studienkolleg (few of them are recognized, so be sagacious) which cost 5000-6000 euros approximately if you apply with Some Knowledge of German (probably A2 or B1) while in this case you don't need to clear Aufnamehprufung! You can even Apply for some private Studienkolleg without any knowledge of German. The fee in this time increases.10,000 -15,000 Euros(approximately) or sometimes might be even higher !
While choosing private Language Schools and Studienkolleg please enquire through students studying there, review in google, because private institutes have been making troubles after starting there studies in Germany. The admissions are easy to get and so Indian **** agents provide admission through them, also they promote them by saying Visa is easy to get, but do remember visa is equally important as our safe future in studies at Germany.

👉An Important Note: None of these Pathways need Consultants !
👉👉👉 Personally, 1st Pathway is Recommendable
Any Suggestions/Tips/Improvements/Edits/ Welcomed !
ALL THE BEST !

How to be a pharmacist in Germany?? after bPharm..mPharm..?

@mallusingermany
Which master’s degree is best to do after a B.Com in Germany?

Most of us are not engineers - and despite the popular lie spread by touts and guides. Germany is a pretty nice destination for you if you wish to make a career for yourself in the areas of finance, business, management, marketing and etc.
A BCOM graduate can study a lot of Master’s degrees in Germany, some of the most popular being -

MSc. Business administration

MSc. Business Psychology

MSc. Marketing

MSc. International Business

MSc. Economics

MSc. Finance

MBA

All of these degrees are a plausible choice for a person graduating with a BCOM from an Indian university. The main issue that one would come across is fulfilling the ECTS requirements. Now practically speaking - there’s no easy way of going about this - you’d have to write to different universities and ask them if they would allow you in their programs with a 3 year Bachelor’s degree.

To check for the different programs available you can go on to the DAAD website and take a look. Similarly, if you’re big on university rankings - you can check the CHE rankings of different universities and go inside the ones that stand on the top.

*Without a train - what now?*


*Starting next night, passenger traffic will be on strike for five days. What about tickets that have already been booked? What do people have to consider when taking the train to work? What is the advice of the railway?*



Deutsche Bahn is therefore asking its customers to postpone long-distance trips planned from September 2nd to 6th if they do not necessarily have to travel. Railway customers can find out which connections are affected by the strikes from the latest traffic reports on the Internet.


*Can travelers take another train?*



The main thing is to get to your destination: Those who have booked a long-distance train journey between September 2nd and 7th can use their ticket flexibly, according to the website of the train . That means: You can use the ticket now or travel until September 17th. The train connection has also been removed for saver fares and super saver fares. Seat reservations can be exchanged free of charge.For travelers in local transport it says on the website: "You can use your ticket immediately / or up to and including 09/17/2021, if necessary using another route." This relates to tickets bought before the strike started on September 2nd.If you take a more expensive long-distance train - for example an ICE instead of a regional train - you first have to buy the more expensive ticket or pay a surcharge and then later claim the costs back in the travel center or online. However, this does not apply to heavily discounted offers, for example the cross-country ticket or the country tickets.




*Can travelers return their ticket?*


Customers who are affected by the rail strike in long-distance transport and therefore do not want to travel at all can cancel tickets and seat reservations that have already been booked free of charge and have the travel price reimbursed at the DB travel center. There is a form for online tickets on the Deutsche Bahn website.In local transport, the ticket price is 100 percent reimbursed if rail travelers arrive at the destination station at least 60 minutes late due to the strike and therefore do not even start the journey. Just as naturally, if a train fails completely or if you have to turn back at a transfer station because you can't get any further.



*Does the train pay for delays?*



If you are 60 minutes late at the destination station, rail customers get 25 percent of the ticket price back for a single journey, and 50 percent if you are 120 minutes or more. Incidentally, these rules always apply regardless of a strike based on a European passenger rights regulation.Customers can choose whether to have the delay compensation paid out as a voucher or in cash. A corresponding application form is available at the travel center, on the Internet or from the train attendant.


*Does Deutsche Bahn also compensate travelers with a monthly ticket?*


Even travelers who have a monthly ticket or other time tickets receive compensation for delays of 60 minutes or more. This is a flat rate: for long-distance travel tickets it is five euros in second class, and ten euros for the BahnCard 100.For country tickets, cross-country tickets and the nice weekend ticket, the compensation is 1.50 euros. However: Only amounts of four euros or more will be paid out. As a result, customers may need to provide receipts for multiple delays.



*Does the train pay a taxi or a hotel room?*


In two situations, the railway has to provide its passengers with other means of transport such as taxis: If the scheduled arrival time is between midnight and 5 a.m. and the expected delay at the destination station is at least 60 minutes. Or if the last scheduled connection of the day fails and the destination station can no longer be reached by midnight without a taxi.
If the train does not do that - for example late at night - customers can get into a taxi on their own and can then demand the costs - maximum amount: 80 euros - from the train.If, due to a train cancellation or a delay, it is not possible or unreasonable to continue the journey on the same day, the railway must either provide its customers with overnight accommodation or later reimburse "reasonable accommodation costs". Passengers must primarily take advantage of the train's overnight stays before they look for a hotel themselves.


*What applies to taking bicycles with you?*


For the days of the strike, the railway asks on its homepage not to take bicycles with you because of the expected high load on long-distance trains. Long-distance travelers who have already bought a ticket with a bicycle map and reserved a parking space in advance are offered free bicycle delivery instead.However, this only applies on strike days and for "conventional" bicycles, for example not for pedelecs, e-bikes, tandems and recumbent bicycles. Shipping usually takes two working days and can only be booked online. Further conditions are mentioned on the website of the railway.


*What applies to delays at work?*


Employees must do everything reasonable to get to work on time. That could be a trip in your own car instead of the train. Carpooling must be considered and delays, which - like a strike - are foreseeable, must be planned by the employee, i.e., if necessary, leave earlier.But there are also limits: It is unreasonable, for example, to set off to work a day in advance and stay overnight in a hotel. You don't have to pay any taxi fare that is not in proportion to your salary. It is best to speak to your employer in advance if you have problems getting to work due to the strike.

Working as a “mini-jobber” in Germany

I arrived in Germany to study without knowing anything about mini-job opportunities.

But, like many other students, I wanted to work during my studies.

On the one hand, I wanted to do it to get some hands-on experience and try working in a multicultural environment. On the other hand – I wanted to earn some extra pocket money.

In the beginning, I didn’t know a lot of important details about what exactly it meant to have a mini-job in Germany.

I thought, literally, it was a “small job”, or a “job that pays you little money”. Haha.

While that held true, I wish I had done a little more research about what exactly a mini-job was.

As I discovered later, not only students are looking for mini-jobs in Germany.

A lot of expats who come to Germany to find a full-time job, also work part-time until they receive their dream full-time job offer.

I don’t know why it surprised me, but Germans, of course, also have mini-jobs.

Sometimes it’s their only income, sometimes they have a mini-job in addition to their normal, full-time job (saving money on tax!).

Why would you do that?

Well, I can tell you. When I got a mini-job, I always got 450 Euros. Every month. I was told that was the maximum amount before it was taxable.

In other words. No matter if I had an additional job earning me, e.g., 1500 Euros or 2000 Euros – I would always get 450 Euros for my mini-job. This is because the German mini-job always arrived at my bank account with tax deducted already.

What I can say for sure is that all of these aspects were new to me. But they seemed very important, especially in terms of the complex German bureaucratic system.

I thought it’s worthwhile sharing the insights I’ve gained. So that you won’t waste time surfing through the internet or getting into some troubles.

So. What exactly is a mini-job in Germany?


#1 What is a German mini-job?


Having a mini-job in Germany means to have any kind of legal employment with a maximum monthly salary of 450 Euros– that was the first thing I learned about this job type.

And not one Euro more!

Why is that important and what conditions come attached with that?

For me accepting the mini-job meant that the company I worked for did not have to pay for insurance obligations. This made the salary cheaper for them. They paid about 600 Euros, and I got 450 Euros after all tax got deducted.

They told me that if I got 460 Euros a month, they would have to pay around 700-800 Euros. The moment they paid me more than the mini job allowance of 450 Euros, the company will pay for my social security insurances! If it is 450 Euros or less, then I have to pay for them.

This was good for them. They were a young startup company. So it allowed them to hire someone. But they did not have enough money to spend 800 Euros each month, they only had 450 Euros for that.

The mini job was created to help small companies and shops to hire employees more quickly. And to make it more flexible. It is also good for the employees because it means you can always have a quick mini-job in addition to your normal job if you want to get an ‘extra’ 450 Euros pocket money.

So, an advantage for me was that I could also get another full-time job later. This other job would pay my insurance – I would get these 450 Euros as a sort of pocket money, that just did not have anything to do with my other income. For my employer, it was a big plus was that he didn’t have to spend extra money paying taxes for a person who only works part-time.

Mini-job, is this just an easy way to fire someone quickly?!

So what I suspect is… a mini-job is also convenient because the employer can fire you quickly. It sounds harsh, but in a way I understand.

If you do not resign voluntarily and you have worked at a place for sometime, I have heard that it is super hard for a German company to terminate the contract of their employees.

It is not at all like in the US, “hire and fire”. Germany seems super protective of its workers.

I guess when, for example, if you own a little cafe in Berlin.
