How it works

Once you've authorised quitt, quitt registers the employment everywhere it belongs. You don't need to know which office that is.

quitt first applies for your Betriebsnummer (employer number) at the Bundesagentur für Arbeit. Then quitt registers the employment with the right body: for a Minijob via the Haushaltsscheck at the Minijob-Zentrale, for an employment subject to social security (Midijob or full-time) with the health insurer as the collecting agency (Einzugsstelle).

quitt also registers your household help with the statutory accident insurance and sets up communication with the tax office. Which registration is needed, quitt decides based on your details.

quitt creates a legally valid employment contract based on your details.

You enter the wage and hours, your household help adds their own data through their own login. quitt creates the contract from that; you can use it, adapt it, or use your own.

Over the year, quitt also creates every monthly payslip, the annual report, and the certificate for your tax rebate.

Every month, quitt calculates the wage automatically and pays it out. No approval from you is needed.

quitt calculates the gross wage, all deductions, your employer costs and the net wage, creates the payslip and makes the payment. Everything sits in the app. If you like, you can enable an approval step; it isn't required.

Change something in the app and quitt automatically recognises what follows from it and adjusts it.

Raise the wage above €603 a month, for example, and the Minijob becomes a Midijob. quitt re-registers the employment, switches the payroll procedure and adjusts deductions and employer costs.

You don't have to keep the thresholds in mind. quitt checks with every change whether a re-registration is needed and carries it out.

You top up your quitt balance once a month, quitt pays the rest.

From the balance, quitt pays the net wage to your household help as well as social contributions and tax to the relevant bodies, on time and in your name. quitt reflects expenses and reimbursements in the payslip.

What contributions and tax apply depends on the earnings. quitt calculates it correctly in every case, whether Minijob, Midijob or full-time.

For a Minijob everything runs through the Minijob-Zentrale, for Midijob and full-time through the health insurer as collecting agency. quitt handles both and switches automatically when earnings change.

Holiday entitlement, deadlines and the annual report all run in the background through quitt.

quitt maps the statutory holiday entitlement and monitors all reporting and payment deadlines. At year end, quitt creates the annual report and the §35a certificate for your tax return.

If quitt files a report late, quitt covers any resulting fine. The condition is that you provided your details on time.

If your household help is off, you enter it in the app. quitt handles the whole case.

quitt takes over all communication with authorities and insurers, pays out the continued wage, claims back the reimbursements and reflects everything correctly in the payslip. For illness this runs through the U1 levy (continued pay up to 6 weeks), for maternity through U2, for a work accident through the accident insurance, including on the commute.

When the employment ends, you report it in the app and quitt deregisters the person cleanly.

quitt carries out the deregistration with all bodies and provides the final documents. If you want to leave quitt yourself, you cancel in the app and quitt withdraws the power of attorney. No minimum term.

quitt takes over the administration, but not the employer role.

quitt does not find or place household help, does not decide on employment, wage, hours or tasks, and does not do your private tax return. quitt is not software you operate, and not a staffing agency.

You remain the employer and stay in control. quitt does the work.
