Fee calculation in youth welfare: How do I find the right hourly rate?
Hello everyone,
I'd like to briefly introduce myself: I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and have been working as a social worker for about three years, currently in youth welfare. I'm currently planning to start a small side business offering outpatient individual support, family support, and similar support services.
I've already done extensive research, contacted independent agencies, and learned that they award such contracts on a fee basis. I'm currently in the process of registering myself and clarifying all the formalities. However, I have a major problem: I'm unsure what fee I can demand from the agencies.
The money for youth welfare services usually comes from the youth welfare office, which is why the financial framework is already set. However, in my state, it's not possible to have such cases referred directly through the youth welfare office—this is handled exclusively by independent providers. However, these providers retain a significant portion of the fee, partly for administrative costs and their own profits.
I've already tried researching current fee rates online. Unfortunately, many of the figures I found are either outdated (some are more than 10 years old) or so low that they don't seem reasonable to me. I want to approach the providers with a realistic fee rate, but I also don't want to sell myself short.
So I hope someone here has experience in this area and is willing to share it with me.
Thank you in advance and best regards!

I am not up to date in this area, but does your project not mean that you are building more or less a competition for your work in youth aid?
.
In principle, your employee may design his spare time as he wants. If there is no collective agreement or collective agreement, it needs your Approval for a side job not. Your employee doesn’t even have to tell you he’s doing a side job.
Employers may refuse to grant their employees the approval of ancillary activity if it provokes at least one of the following situations:
Point 2 of the Examples:
Competition exclusion: Your co-worker must not compete with you

I talked to my employer about it and we agreed that I don’t take orders in districts where they work.
I have a good employer fortunately and the reality is that you earn little money in the social sector and therefore they did not want to take this opportunity away from me.
The best way to contact the youth offices on site, possibly under another excuse, and ask what they usually pay for a h to the carriers.
You can take a part of that.
Mostly the carriers have clear daily rates/hour rates.
