Fine risk in case of delay
A mandatory process without value creation
Instant notifications originate with the employer but still end up in the payroll office. That is exactly where they block productive work, create follow-up questions, and pull time away from daily business.
Incomplete data and follow-up questions
An average of 3.2 follow-up questions per report. Missing information delays the employee start and increases liability risk.
WhatsApp instead of payroll work
An average of 8 minutes per report, 6 of them pure communication. No added value for the law firm.
Liability risk: fines up to €25,000
The instant notification must be in place before work starts. A delay counts as an administrative offense, even if the client caused it.
Not scalable
As the client business grows, the effort grows linearly with it. There is no natural cap.
Interrupts the actual work
Spontaneous instant notifications interrupt payroll processing, a mandatory process with no value creation for the law firm.
The process moves to where it actually begins
The employer creates the instant notification themselves. The law firm only activates access and keeps the overview afterwards.
The process is shifted
The employer submits digitally on their own, directly and without a detour through the office.
The office is relieved
No more spontaneous requests. The payroll office focuses on the actual payroll work.
Control stays intact
All reports remain visible and traceable in the law firm dashboard.
Set it up once and
stay relieved permanently
No technical migration. No DATEV integration. Thirty seconds per client once and then it runs on its own.

Effective since 01/01/2026
The market doubles.
Without any action from you.
Four new industries become subject to instant-notification rules from 2026. That means more clients with more reports and more workload if you do not have a clear process.

The law creates the demand. Sofortmelder gives your clients the right process before your office gets flooded.
Built with a law firm. Used in real daily work.
Sofortmelder was not created in a lab. It grew out of a payroll office that felt this problem every day.

"We helped develop Sofortmelder from the very beginning because we felt the problem every day in our payroll office. Today we actively use it with our clients. The follow-up questions are gone, responsibility is clearly with the employer, and the process runs without our involvement. That is exactly how it should be."

Important for law firms
Sofortmelder is not another tool for your office.
The law firm does not need to integrate anything or build a new internal process. The client uses Sofortmelder independently. The law firm only sets up access, automatically receives every report in the dashboard, and stays fully informed without operational work.
