Social Security: Determination - Compulsory Insurance
As an employer, you are obliged to register your employees with social security.
Social security is divided into the following areas:
- the statutory pension insurance (GRV)
- the statutory health insurance (GKV)
- the statutory accident insurance (GUV)
- social long-term care insurance (SPV)
Sometimes, however, there are uncertainties about the obligation to insure, e.g. if it is not clear whether a newly hired employee has the status of an employee (employee) or a freelancer (self-employed). In this case, you (and/or your employee) must request that an inquiry procedure be carried out.
As part of the procedure, it is clarified on a case-by-case basis whether insurance is compulsory.
In this way, you may be able to protect yourself from considerable additional contribution claims in the future.
