Is my neighbor annoyed that he had to retire just now? Now that your former company has raised the wages of its employees to an extent never seen before? Indeed, the money of those who work with an employment contract based on the official wage agreement has been squeezed by the increase in the minimum wage.

My niece is also curdling. It's not enough that he turned 25 last year, and moreover, several thousand forints less were transferred to his account than a month earlier. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he is taxed on the basis of the simplified public contribution. After you have asked the EKHO for the part above the minimum wage, after the increase, a smaller amount will be added to your account even if your official salary has not changed in the meantime.

I called the mason who worked on the insulation of our house last summer. I knew about him that he was registered for minimum wage.

We earn the same as the boss, because we are both minimum wage earners, he said jokingly. So I kept my money, he added cheerfully. The more there is on paper, the less in the envelope - he summarized the simplified bookkeeping. In other words, what happens is that the entrepreneur officially registers his workers for the minimum wage - as this way he can reduce the tax payable on wages to the smallest possible - but since he no longer receives a specialist for that amount, he is forced to make up for it. Of course, there is no official contract on this, it is only the subject of a verbal agreement. In other words, if the skilled worker has received HUF 146,000 so far, for the HUF 300,000 agreement, 154,000 per month slipped into his pocket. Now that the net minimum wage for skilled workers has risen to 173,000, the employer should have paid HUF 27,000 more, especially since the government left extra money for the entrepreneur with a tax exemption. Instead, he reached not into the money left in his pocket, but into the workers' envelope, and took out the surplus of the central increase. This means wage negotiations for entrepreneurs, even now, when there is officially a shortage of at least 20,000 professionals in the sector.

Let's face it, it's not easy. Vegetarians are not happy about discounted chicken breast because they want to buy zucchini cheaper. Cyclists whistle for the freezing of fuel prices, and those who mention the rule of law for compliance with the law.

It's as if something is blocking our clear vision, even though everything is so clearly black and white.
