Hessen to Increase Wages for People with Disabilities - Wages for Disabled Workers in Wiesbaden Workshops to Rise in 2023
Significant changes in wages for people with disabilities working in workshops, including those in Wiesbaden, are expected in 2023. This follows political discussions about reforming workshop allowances and strengthening pathways to the general labor market. However, specific local changes in Wiesbaden remain unclear.
Between 2015 and 2024, over 450 workshop employees in Hesse successfully transitioned to jobs with social insurance in the general labor market. Workshops, such as those in Wiesbaden, provide a meaningful daily structure, recognition, and social contacts for people with disabilities.
Hesse supports the federal government's plans to improve wages. Currently, workshop employees in Hesse earn an average of 218 euros per month, which is below the minimum wage. The federal government is set to conduct a study to create a transparent and future-proof wage system for these workers.
While the 2023 changes in workshop wages are expected to bring improvements, specific details for Wiesbaden are yet to be announced. The transition of over 450 employees to the general labor market in Hesse shows progress in supporting people with disabilities. The upcoming study aims to create a fair and sustainable wage system for workshop employees.
