Employing students, interns and mini-jobbers in a startup – scope for action between legal obligations and entrepreneurial action
In 2022, startups in Germany will employ an average of 18.4 employees – often, startups will initially rely on interns, working students, and marginal employees.
Even with the first hire, there are a number of legal obligations to be observed. At the same time, opportunities for entrepreneurial action open up. In addition to the basics of employing interns, students, and marginal employees, this tutorial focuses on employed students.
Social insurance experts from AOK Bayern will clarify the most important and frequently asked questions about employing students for your startup:
- When is a student a working student, when is he or she a marginally paid or short-term employee?
- What is the so-called working student privilege and who does it apply to?
- When should the 20-hour limit be observed and when can the student be given more work?
- What contributions do employed students have to pay?
- What should be considered from a social security perspective when employing these groups of employees?
