The Federal Employment Agency defines employees subject to social insurance contributions as follows: "Employees subject to social insurance contributions include all employees who are subject to health, pension, and long-term care insurance and/or contributions under employment promotion law, or for whom contributions to statutory pension insurance or under employment promotion law are payable. This includes, in particular, trainees, semi-retired employees, interns, working students, and persons who are called up from employment subject to social insurance contributions to perform statutory duties (e.g., military training). However, civil servants, self-employed persons, assisting family members, professional and temporary soldiers, as well as persons performing military and civilian service (see above exception) are not considered employees subject to social insurance contributions.
