Apr 16, 2019 at 18:37 comment added Philipp @amon Scheinselbstständigkeit (misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor) has only advantages for the employer and only disadvantages for the employee. There is usually no reason for an employee to pretend they are not when they are. The one who is breaking the law is the employer, because they are cheating the employee out of social security benefits and employee protection. But when the employer is abroad, that's hard for the German law enforcement system to persecute.
Apr 16, 2019 at 18:00 comment added amon It might be helpful mentioning Scheinselbständigkeit: if someone handles social security and taxes like a freelancer but actually works like a regular employee, that is illegal. The impression of Scheinselbständigkeit can be avoided by having multiple clients, not just working for one company. Alternatively (but with higher overhead) they could incorporate their own company that hires them as a regular employee.

Apr 16, 2019 at 12:58 comment added glglgl @Mehdi at least not so easily. If you manage to be unemployed for a while, there might be a chance… but maybe that's knowledge from several years ago.
Apr 16, 2019 at 12:39 comment added Mehdi and you can't go back to the public insurance anymore.
