A flat-rate energy price of 300 euros will be available to employees from September. They should get the money directly from the employer with their wages or salary. However, something different may apply to part-time or short-term employees.
This is because employers are only entitled to pay out in some cases. Employers, for example, who only employ mini-jobbers who are taxed at a flat rate, are not allowed to pay out the flat rate. Background: These employers do not submit wage tax returns, so there is no way they can get the lump sum paid back from the tax office. The same applies to people who employ mini-jobbers in private households.
