Compliance
Factofly was built for the German legal framework.
Here, we'll explain how the model works — for freelancers and for clients.
Simple & clear.
Factofly structures project-based work in Germany under a work contract model — not employee leasing (AÜG).
For the duration of the project, we take care of the contractual responsibility as well as invoicing, payroll, taxes, social contributions, and insurance.
Our compliance principles
The goal is structural clarity — clear and understandable for clients, project participants, and, where necessary, third parties. Compliance rarely comes from a single clause. It comes from clear project definitions, well-defined roles, documented acceptance, and repeatable processes.
Klar definierte Deliverables
Projects are set up around outcomes. Scope, acceptance criteria, milestones, and changes are documented.
Roles & Responsibilities
Responsibilities are clearly defined. Structures that effectively mirror line management are avoided.
Tracking & Approvals
Approvals aren't just a formality but proof that a defined job has been completed.
Wiederholbare
Prozesse
From contract structure through to invoicing, processes are standardised, reviewed, and transparent.
FAQ:
Factofly works best for people who already have the legal right to work in Germany.
During a project you are formally employed by Factofly. Between projects there is no active employment contract. Because of this, Factofly cannot guarantee continuous employment of the kind required for certain visas or residence permits.
If your residence status includes specific conditions around employment, you should check whether project-based employment fits your situation before using Factofly.
Many Factofly users, for example, are:
-
EU citizens
-
People with permanent residence in Germany
-
Individuals whose residence permit allows unrestricted employment
If you are unsure, it is best to clarify your situation with a legal advisor or the relevant immigration authority.
Der erste Schritt ist meist ein kurzes Gespräch über deine Situation und die Art von Projekten, die du planst. Danach können wir gemeinsam prüfen, ob die Struktur grundsätzlich passt.
Nicht unbedingt. Einige Fachkräfte nutzen Factofly als primäres Arbeitsmodell, andere gelegentlich für einzelne Projekte.
Ja. Factofly arbeitet innerhalb des deutschen regulatorischen Rahmens und kann projektbasierte Arbeit deutschlandweit unterstützen.
Oft ja, allerdings kann der Aufenthaltsstatus beeinflussen, welche Arten von Arbeit erlaubt sind. Bei bestimmten Visa, etwa einer Blue Card, kann eine zusätzliche Genehmigung erforderlich sein, bevor projektbasierte Arbeit aufgenommen werden kann.
Possibly. Secondary employment is generally permitted in Germany, but it depends on your employment contract and, where applicable, the conditions of your residence permit (for example a Blue Card). We recommend reviewing your individual situation in advance.
