Profit sharing for prostitutes

Prostitutes in a German brothel have signed employment contracts which include profit sharing.

The contracts were drawn up after the German parliament passed a law giving vice girls employment rights.

Vice girls at Berlin's Cafe Pssst! also enjoy a 40-hour working week under an employment agreement drawn up by the brothel's madame.

Felicitas Weigmann, the owner of the brothel, said the girls are entitled to a basic wage of 600 euro, (£370) per month, plus a "profit sharing" payment of 40 euro, (£25) per client.

But they can also choose to remain free agents without a contract, reports Germany's Bild newspaper.

The law passed by parliament last year gave prostitutes the right to claim social security, health insurance and a pension. It also allowed them to pursue through the courts customers who refuse to pay.

Prostitution is legal in Germany and prostitutes' earnings were always liable to tax.

Germany has around 400,000 prostitutes, whose services are used an estimated 1.2 million times a day.
