Multi-Employment in Germany

What is Multi-Employment?

Multi-employment occurs when a person works for two or more employers simultaneously. In Germany, this now affects 4.6 million workers — nearly one in nine employed people.

Why is Multi-Employment Growing?

The number of multi-employed individuals has nearly tripled in the last 20 years. Key drivers include rising part-time rates (40% in Q2 2025), 382,000 side-business registrations in 2024, IT skills shortages, and portfolio careers as a conscious life choice.

Working Time Act (ArbZG) for Multiple Employers

The ArbZG applies across employers: Working hours from all employments are added together, with a maximum of 8 hours per day and 11 hours of uninterrupted rest.
