The current data protection notices of Hardenberg Consulting GmbH apply.

§ 6 Costs & Bonus

No costs are incurred for the use of the online offering of vetjobs24.com until the conclusion of a contract of employment between the Users. If a contract of employment is concluded between the Users of the site, costs are incurred by the employer or other agent to the amount of 2,900.00 € plus the applicable statutory VAT. These costs arise with the conclusion of the contract of employment between the Users. The employer or any agent must inform Hardenberg Consulting GmbH without delay on the day the contract is signed. There is a page on vetjobs24.com to carry out this function. Following this notification, the employer receives the relevant invoice from Hardenberg Consulting GmbH for each contract of employment concluded with an employee. It must be paid to Hardenberg Consulting GmbH immediately after receiving the invoice.

The obligation of the employer or any agents to pay also exists if he or the job seeker, who he has employed, has in the meantime deleted his profile on vetjobs24.com or when the User contract no longer exists for whatever reason. The precondition for the employer’s obligation to pay is that the parties to the contract of employment found each other on account of the online offering of vetjobs24.com and have concluded a contract of employment.

No costs are incurred by the job seeker when he signs the contract of employment. Instead he receives a starter bonus in the amount of 1,000.00 € gross with the reservation, that Hardenberg Consulting GmbH has received the payment by the employer of the amount quoted in §6 para.1. The payment of the starter bonus of 1,000.00 € is due 14 days after Hardenberg Consulting GmbH’s receipt of payment from the employer.

Exception for internship placement:
If an internship contract is concluded between the users of the site or an internship placement is arranged, no costs are incurred by the employer/internship provider. There are no costs for the intern when signing the internship contract. However, the intern does not receive a starter bonus from Hardenberg Consulting GmbH.
An internship contract is characterized as follows, whereby the requirements must be met cumulatively:
The employment contract is concluded for a specific period of time to deepen practical skills and/or to prepare for the profession, the employee undergoes a specific activity and training in a company voluntarily or as part of a compulsory internship, which can be part of or a preliminary stage of another training (e.g. university degree) but does not have to be (voluntary internship) and the intern does not receive any performance-related remuneration. The internship contract should be marked as such.
