Is an internship contract an employment contract?
A kind of employment contract is also concluded for the internship – the internship contract. In contrast to a regular employment relationship, interns are generally not regarded as employees but as apprentices (Federal Labor Court (BAG) 2 AZR439/64).
How much does an intern cost?

How do I register an intern?
If it is a voluntary internship with remuneration, you must always report the intern to the social security system. The same rules apply to the payment of contributions as to employees.

What if I get sick during my internship?
