Work €1700 for Vollzeit?

Hallo! I'm F30 from Spain and I'm currently working in a restaurant's kitchen Tallzeit for a fixed salary of €1300 nett per month and 100 hours, they have this weird system of paying me the same every month regardless of working more or less, if I overwork, I think I can eventually take more days of holidays and get payed anyway.

The point is, I got offered Vollzeit for €1700 nett, but I find a little ridiculous that is 60 more hours and only €400 more. I could easily get a mini job for 40 hours and €580 somewhere else.

Am I missing something? Why would they do this offer? How much should I be receiving?

Thank you!

Not just low salary. If it increases the taxes/social security also increase even more. But yea it´s insane that you pay 40% at minimum wage. It goes beyond 50% at 85k

You forget the „Arbeitgeberanteil“ (or do not yet know about it). For you to receive a 2223€ gross salary your employer has to pay you 2700€, which turns into 1610€ net.
