The tip develops into an ideological dispute bone between the Spö and ÖVP. The black economic wing wants to abolish the fixed amounts for SV -contributed. The Spö, on the other hand, is because the social security of money escapes. It wants national regulations. The negotiations are currently in full swing.
In particular, the Chamber of Commerce with Harald Mahrer on the top has put pressure on the abolition of the fixed rate in recent weeks. He received support from Peter McDonald, who was the business representative of the Health Fund in the first half of the year. The union member Andreas Huss has been at the helm since yesterday. He takes a completely different course.
Especially in the catering trade, tips are part of salary. That is why there is also the SV -resistant rate. Abolition means less unemployment benefit, less sick wage and less pension, says Huss. Finance Minister Markus Marterbauer recently also argued against abolition in an interview with the “Krone”. Huss has concrete ideas: “We want a national uniform of the tip of the tip. This means that each employee pays 18 percent of this specified uniform amount of the tip of the tip and then a higher pension, a higher illness, a higher disease language, a higher accident pension, and so on.
A reform has become necessary because the card is now being paid much more often and the actual amount of the tips for social security is visible. This in turn led to sometimes terrible extra payments. “If the fixed rate is exceeded three times, legal paths will be calculated,” Huss explains. “Our business reach is a uniform fixed rate and regardless of how much point actually flows, we are not compensating anything. That means that companies have the certainty that they would have to pay for this fictional fixed rate. Huss does not go on concrete numbers,” but it will be three digits “. Finally, the flat -rate amount was not in 20 years.
“The tip is tax -free and should remain,” Huss emphasizes. “This means that the state does not want to escape, but it is about participating in their tip in the retirement and the health services.” Given the new offer of trade union member Huss, the Chamber of Commerce does not leave its position. The new Chamber of Commerce General Secretary means for the “Kroon”: “Take a gift for a good service and must therefore be free from tax and tax. This is also the opinion of the vast majority of the population and the insured person. Not much left in the Ögk.”
