If all three questions can be answered cumulatively with yes, a self-employed activity is usually present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If there is a business or work-organizational dependency,<\/li><li>does the person participate in economic activity by using labor and capital in a freely determined self-organization and visibly to the outside world?<\/li><li>who bears the entrepreneurial risk?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The following characteristics also speak in favor of self-employment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Equality with the person who placed the order<\/li><li>Bearing of business costs<\/li><li>Not being bound by instructions<\/li><li>Free choice of working hours<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contributions of the self-employed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-employed persons must also pay social insurance contributions.

Additionally also in the area of family allowances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not possible to join the unemployment insurance. They can voluntarily join the occupational pension scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount of the contributions to the individual insurance branches is determined by the income earned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For self-employment, there are various special regulations in the area of social insurance that deviate from the rules for employed persons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":false,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[4],"tags":[617,80,616],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"views":406,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p54Pb1-1yt","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5981"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5981"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5981\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6027,"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5981\/revisions\/6027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.startups.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
