June 9, 2025
Disguised employment (“Scheinselbstständigkeit”) remains a persistent issue in the German labor market. This is reflected not only in the growing number of solo self-employed individuals, but also in the increasing scrutiny by German tax and social security authorities. Disguised employment refers to situations where individuals are formally engaged as independent contractors or freelancers but, in practice, perform their work under conditions similar to those of regular employees.
