Here it is not only important to avoid certain vocabulary, but in particular to formulate the contract so concretely that you can ideally fulfil it &#8220;on your own&#8221;, i.e. without further instructions.

Compliance is therefore a topic of considerable importance.<\/p>\n<p>In order to prevent problems regarding so-called &#8221; pseudo self-employment&#8221; and consequences under labour law, important principles must be observed.<\/p>\n<p>This is already relevant in the selection of suitable candidates as well as the review of the conditions of their self-employment. Equally important, of course, is the drafting of the contracts on the basis of which freelancers are deployed by our clients. In addition to simply avoiding certain vocabulary, it is particularly important to make the contracts as concrete as possible. The goal must be that the freelancer can ideally fulfil the commissioned services without further instructions. Finally, practical rules for dealing with external specialists must be established and observed. A wide range of topics can become relevant here: What work equipment is used? From where does the freelancer work? What kind of access card does the freelancer receive to the company&#8217;s premises and at what price can freelancers eat in the company&#8217;s own canteen?<\/p>\n<p>If you wish, we will be happy to advise you on these aspects and report from our own experience.
