Fehlende oder fehlerhafte Stundenzettel & Sozialversicherungsmeldungen
Definition
Every German employer must file monthly SV-Meldungen (Sozialversicherungsmeldungen) listing each employee's hours, gross wage, and insurance classification. Manual timesheets introduce errors: rounded hours, missing shift records, wage misclassifications (e.g., classifying part-time driver as full-time when hours exceed threshold). Krankenkasse and Rentenversicherung audits flag discrepancies and issue Nachzahlungen (back-assessments) with Strafzinsen at 5–10% p.a. dating back 4 years. For a 50-driver fleet with average 2–3% error rate in monthly meldungen, this compounds to €5,000–€20,000 annually in back-contributions. Systematic fraud (intentional under-reporting) triggers criminal charges.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €5,000–€20,000/year in SV-Meldung errors and back-contributions. Criminal fraud exposure: unlimited fines + imprisonment risk for executives.
- Frequency: Monthly (every SV-Meldung cycle is an error opportunity).
- Root Cause: Manual hour entry into spreadsheet, manual transfer to DATEV or SV-portal, no real-time validation against SV rules.
