Employment conditions

You will receive an employment contract for a job at Smart. The prerequisites for this are membership of the cooperative and orders that cover your employment costs. Of course, formal employment law conditions must also be met.

Your membership of Smart does not mean that you are automatically employed by Smart. You must actively inform Smart of your employment request and submit orders. Your employment is only confirmed once you have received the employment contract from us by e-mail and then signed this contract and sent it back to us by e-mail.

Requirements for employment

Ordinary residence in Germany
You must have orders that can be invoiced by Smart.
For employment subject to social security contributions, your income must be at least €760 net on average per month.
The standard duration of a first employment contract is four months.
To be covered by health insurance through employment with Smart, the income from employment with Smart must make up the majority of your total income (if you are self-employed at the same time)
Non-EU nationals must have a valid residence permit that allows employment (gainful employment).
An employment contract has to start on the 1st day of the month.

Deadline
Any request regarding an employment contract for the following month must be communicated to us by the last day of the current month at the latest. For example, if you want to change your salary for February, you must let us know by January 31st.
