Employment relationships can be organised either through an employment contract or as an individual activity. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages.
Employment contract – stability and guarantees
An employment contract gives the worker:
- a fixed salary
- paid leave
- sickness benefits
- set working hours
The employer takes care of part of the tax and social contributions. This form is suitable for those who value stability and social security.
Self-employment – freedom and risk
Self-employment
With self-employed accounting, you organise your own work, pay your taxes to Sodra and buy equipment. This gives you more freedom in terms of working hours and earnings, but there is no guarantee of a steady salary, holidays or sick pay. Self-employment is often chosen for freelancers, small service companies and consultants.
Conclusion:
Contract work is more suited to workers who value stability, while self-employment is more suited to professionals seeking autonomy and flexibility.
