The controlling language in German employment contracts

$

0

I am about to be employed in Germany under an American company which has a branch office in Germany.

Recently I got a contract from them that has side-by-side translations with German on the left and English on the right. I found a critical anomaly in the contract about currency format used to state my yearly salary. On both the sides german and english they have used american currency format

Example:

German: EUR 45,000 ----------->English: EUR 45,000

which is only correct for the English format, as in German it only mean 45 EUROS instead of 45000 :o

My questions are:

  1. Should I get it in the right format in German part?
  2. IN such cases in germany which language is the binding language when not explicitly stated in the contract?
