App-Aided Crowdwork Contract Can't Imply Employ
CK - Washington. A framework contract for on-demand work assignments does not constitute employment in the matter 8 Sa 146/19 decided on December 4, 2019 by the Appeals Court for Employment Matters in Bavaria. The framework agreement enables a company to publish requests for bids to perform specific tasks within a defined timeframe at various locations near interested bidders. The parties interact through a software program. A person who performed a task argued it became an employee, leading to tax, social security contribution, insurance and employment issues.
The court issued a press release in German that describes the particular task at issue. The court determined that the framework contract does neither require the company to post requests nor the performer to consider or accept a task. By contrast, employment supposes at a minimum instruction-based and compliance-enforced work in a relationship where the performer is dependent on the company. Typically, an employee would need to observe rules about time, location and content of an activity while the employer would integrate the employee into its fabric, the court noted.
