Employment contracts

A German employment contract generator, guided by AI

Hiring in Germany means putting a compliant employment contract in front of every new starter — one that respects the evidence duties of the Nachweisgesetz, the statutory minimum wage under the MiLoG, and the strict rules on fixed-term work in the TzBfG. Our Mitarbeiterverträge module builds that contract with a step-by-step wizard, uses AI to draft and check the clauses, and runs the whole signature process end to end.

The German rules a contract has to satisfy

Three statutes shape almost every employment contract.

  • The Nachweisgesetz (NachwG) requires the essential working conditions to be set out in writing — a duty that was tightened in recent years and now covers more points than many older templates include.
  • The Mindestlohngesetz (MiLoG) sets the statutory minimum wage that pay must not fall below.
  • The Teilzeit- und Befristungsgesetz (TzBfG) governs part-time and fixed-term contracts, including when a fixed term is permissible and how long it may run without a material reason.
  • Get any of these wrong and a fixed term can convert to a permanent role, or a missing written term can become an evidence problem in a dispute.

How the AI builds the contract

Guided wizard

You answer plain questions about the role, pay, hours and term. The wizard collects exactly what the statutes require, so nothing mandatory is missed.

AI-drafted clauses

Our AI turns your inputs into clear, coherent contract language rather than pasting fixed boilerplate that may not fit the situation.

Compliance check

The draft is checked against the NachwG evidence duties, the MiLoG minimum wage and the TzBfG fixed-term rules, so problems surface before the contract is signed.

Company profile reuse

Your company details, authorised signatories and HR contact are stored once and applied to every contract you create.

A digital signature process built in

A contract is only useful once it is signed by both sides. The module tracks each contract through its states — draft, awaiting the company's signature, awaiting the employee's signature, and signed — so you always know what is outstanding.

That means no chasing paper: you generate the contract, send it for signature, and watch it move to a completed, countersigned document, with the status visible at a glance across all your hires.

Who it is for

The module is aimed at founders and small teams hiring in Germany without a dedicated HR or legal function — the situation where a well-structured, compliant contract is most valuable and hardest to produce from scratch.

It covers the common employment types, including fixed-term (befristet) arrangements, and adapts the wording accordingly. Because the AI drafts to your specific answers, the contract reads as a coherent document rather than a patchwork of clauses.

Frequently asked questions

Is an AI-generated employment contract legally valid in Germany?

The validity comes from meeting the statutory requirements and being signed by both parties, not from how the text was produced. The module drafts to the NachwG, MiLoG and TzBfG requirements and runs a compliance check, then takes the contract through a documented signature process. For unusual or high-risk arrangements, a lawyer's review is still sensible.

Which laws does the compliance check cover?

The Nachweisgesetz evidence duties, the Mindestlohngesetz minimum wage, and the Teilzeit- und Befristungsgesetz rules on part-time and fixed-term work. These are the statutes that most commonly trip up a contract.

Can I create fixed-term contracts?

Yes. The wizard captures whether the role is fixed-term (befristet) and adapts the clauses, and the compliance check applies the TzBfG rules so an impermissible term is flagged before signing.

How does signing work?

Each contract moves through draft, awaiting the company signature, awaiting the employee signature, and signed. The status is visible across all your contracts, so you always know what is outstanding.
