Explanation: Differences between contract for work and services/fee-based contract/employment relationship

The conclusion of contracts for freelance work can only be considered for situations in which it is a matter of producing or modifying an item in return for agreed remuneration or bringing about a specific, concretely described result through work or services (Section 631 BGB).

In the case of services, the success is the performance owed. Under no circumstances may only a service (without a defined success) be made the subject of the contract, as this may mean in case of doubt that an employment relationship is to be assumed here. Therefore, the success of the service must also be clearly stated in the contract itself.

 

Contract for work
Due: Success = work result

Fee contract

Owed: Services = successful activity

Other employment relationship

Owed= mere doing

§ 631 BGB § 611 BGB § 611a BGB
