How payment works at Zenjob
With Zenjob, you don’t have to wait long to get paid. A few days after your shift, we transfer the first half of your gross wage as a partial payment. Please note that we do not deduct any potential taxes from this amount. The second half of your wage will be transferred to you at the beginning of the following month as part of your monthly income statement (Lohnabrechnung). If income tax were due on your monthly income, we would deduct it from this amount.
-
Partial payment per job
Amount: 50% of the gross wage from one shift
Payment: 2-3 business days after the end of the shift
Condition: Exact working time is recorded (check-in and check-out)
-
Remaining wages
Amount: Net income of all shifts in a month (minus partial payments)
Payment: By the 15th of the following month
Condition: All work contracts have been signed
Cancelling a job at Zenjob
If you are ill or have to cancel your shift for any other valid reason, you must follow our cancellation rules to ensure that you can continue to earn money through Zenjob without restriction.
If you are ill, be sure to call in sick before your shift starts (the earlier, the better) and upload your sick note from day 1.
If you have any other valid reason, cancel your shift at least 2 days before it starts.
