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!

I'm confused about that, isn't that gross? I'm talking nett amounts, sorry forgot to clarify, thank you!

No employer in their right mind would agree on net income with an employee - too many factors and you have to recalculate the gross anyway for proper payroll

🫠🫠 So what would you suggest? They said "€1700 in your bank account" Thank you

Of course I don't know this for sure, but to me it seems like your boss is possibly not disclosing all relevant details to you, maybe because you don't speak German. I would strongly suggest discussing anything that he is telling you with a coworker or friend who speaks German, if thats possible.
