Just a quip but "fully remote" and "must be in Germany" don't really go together.

Also if it's fully remote (no office?) why the location is required? Like what's the reason to relocate someone just to work from the flat online

D09:05:17

I assume that's because of legal/tax reasons.

Mateusz Mazurczak09:05:32

But you can hire contractors from other countries in germany

Martynas Maciulevičius09:05:14

I tried to look these things up for Denmark and if you rent a flat there you become tax liable immediately. So I think that these semi-remote jobs try to ask to work by the regular employment agreement and not by the freelancer one. And they will have a regular work contract.

Why would an employer go through the hassle of hiring an employee if a contractor sets up a good long-term contract and becomes a regular expense? Isn't it way simpler for the employer tax-wise, legal-wise?

You would have thought, but ¯\(ツ)/¯

Mateusz Mazurczak11:05:45

If you are required to work only from office location, but you connect with your team only remotely is it still full remote?

sleepyfox11:05:59

What does "fully" mean in this context?

Mateusz Mazurczak11:05:38

That company uses buzz word that employees love!

Aleksander11:05:55

That you don't ever have to come to the office. A term that includes international remote would be usefull, but I don't think it currently exists.

I tend to use 'remote-USA' (for instance), and 'remote international'. YMMV.

One note about contractor vs employee is that in some jurisdictions (certainly in Canada where I am), there are https://www.xenaccounting.com/blog/tax/employee-vs-contractor-5-factors-that-cra-uses-to-help-determine/ between a proper "contractor" vs an "employee that happens to be paid as a contractor". This might be an additional factor.
