FAQs
What is an AüG licence?
- AuG is a German labour-leasing licence required to engage in staff-leasing in Germany and ensure that German and foreign contractors are working compliantly under the German tax system.
- No umbrella company, recruitment business or corporate can employ someone in Germany to work under the control of another party without this authorization.
- Augsight GmbH holds an AüG licence and is your route to working compliantly in the German market. In this case, compliance covers the end-user of the services, the recruitment business, and the contractors themselves.
What are the benefits of AüG?
- Ideal for temporary positions of less than an eighteen-month duration.
- Where there is not sufficient independence for the contractor to be a freelancer (Freiberufler) there may be Scheinselbstständigkeit – disguised employment.
- Simple to set up and to end.
- AüG provides flexibility for the end-client, the recruitment business and the worker.
- Less expensive than setting up a German company.
Work permits
We can apply for a blue card (employed work permit) for non-EU nationals. The conditions are:
- The contract must be for a minimum of 13 months
- The degree or diploma must be recognised by the German authorities (Anabin)
- A gross annual salary of at least EUR 44,304 (in 2021) is required for employees in mathematics, IT, natural sciences, engineering and human. In all other fields, there is a minimum gross annual salary of EUR 56,800.
An employed work permit takes between 2 to 6 weeks for approval
Health Insurance
Every person resident in Germany is obliged to hold appropriate health insurance. Employed persons can obtain this either through government-approved schemes or by taking private health insurance. At AUGSIGHT we partner with trusted insurance providers, that can help you get the right coverage.
