2. Minijob categories (without access to health and unemployment insurance)

The calculations of the total costs are based on a Minijob that is exempt from pension insurance. If no exemption is desired, the net payment amount is reduced. You can find out more about exemption and Minijobs here.

You can choose the Minijob category as well as set the pension insurance preference in the employment form:
