Zur Anwendbarkeit des Mindestlohngesetzes beim grenzüberschreitenden Gütertransport

The dissertation deals with the question of whether the German Minimum Wage Act applies to foreign truck drivers for the duration of their stay in Germany if they in order to fulfil their obligation to work only drive through the German territory or go there for loading and / or unloading and leave it again. First, the applicability of the German Minimum Wage Act is examined in accordance with the requirements of private international law. Then the compatibility of a comprehensive application of the German Minimum Wage Act in the light of European law is examined. Ultimately, it is discussed what benefit the foreign drivers concerned would actually have from a comprehensive application. The work is directed towards theorists and practitioners.
