Human resources - Registration and deregistration of employees

If you employ staff, you must register and deregister them, e.g. with social insurance.

Here you will find information about formalities related to this subject:

Company number; application
As an employer, you must register your employees for social insurance. To do this, you need a company number.
Statutory accident insurance; registration of a company, self-employed or freelance activity
If you start a business, become self-employed or freelance, you usually have to register it with the accident insurance company.
Minimum wage; registration of employees
If you are an employer based abroad and employ people in Germany, you must register them via the Minimum Wage Reporting Portal. The same applies if you borrow temporary workers from a lender based abroad.
Undeclared work; information on combating it
Undeclared work distorts competition, endangers the existence of small and medium-sized enterprises and destroys jobs. Public coffers suffer considerable losses in taxes and social security contributions.
Social security; registration of employees
Employees who are compulsorily insured under the statutory social insurance scheme must be reported to the competent health insurance fund as the collecting agency.
