Service contracts or service agreements can be individual and complex and must be worked out by an experienced partner - this requires experience and tact.
When working for your clients or on your construction sites, all required documents and licenses must be in place, and the seconded employees from Eastern Europe must have valid social security and health insurance. Proper accommodation for workers from Eastern Europe and the Baltic States, along with efficient logistics, are equally important to ensure a smooth process and successful deployment.
The issue of minimum wage also plays a very important role, particularly in the case of service contracts from Eastern Europe, including Lithuania, Latvia, or Poland.
With a fee-based work contract, also known as a service contract, your company can benefit from great flexibility if the following points are observed.
German companies can have orders and assignments carried out not only by their own employees but also by independent contractors through a service contract or a work and services contract. Similarly, employees from a personnel service provider or subcontractor can be engaged to perform the required services.
Contracts can be arranged either as a work contract or a service contract, depending on what best suits the company’s needs. A lawyer should evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each option for the specific purpose. The details are governed by the Civil Code, so it’s essential to rely on a partner with experience in this area to avoid risks such as bogus self-employment.
In a service contract, one party undertakes to perform certain services, while the other party undertakes to pay a fee for these services. In a service contract, it is important to note that the contractor is only obligated to perform the service, not to guarantee its successful completion. Unlike a work and services contract, a service contract only requires the performance of a service, not the achievement of a specific outcome. Even if the desired result is not achieved, the contract is considered fulfilled as long as the service has been performed and payment has been made.
A contract for work agrees on the production of a certain product and not on the work itself. Contracts for work and labour must be reliable and are reviewed and drafted by our lawyers. In summary, a contract for work and labour is the following:
The advantages and disadvantages when considering service contract vs. contract for work are very clear and distinct. Regardless of whether companies hire self-employed workers, temporary workers or subcontractors, the main difference lies in the subject matter of the contract.
