Abstract: "In January 2015 the new German minimum wage law has introduced a legal nationwide hourly minimum wage of 8.50 Euro. However, workers who have been registered as long-term unemployed before taking up a new job are exempted from the law for the first six months of employment to counteract potentially negative effects of the minimum wage on their labour market outcomes. On behalf of the Federal Ministry for Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS), the IAB has evaluated the economic consequences of this exemption as well as the practical impact of this exemption on job placement."
