Freelance or permanent job? Pros and cons!

So it is one thing to look at things from the employer’s point of view, but another from the employee’s point of view. What speaks in favor of the sole proprietorship is clearly the flexibility and freedom, but on the other hand, we have to find the gas, the operating costs and pay the – not a few – quarterly taxes ourselves. Running an individual business entails serious responsibility and requires a stable, high income.

A fixed courier, on the other hand, only works in one place, he is part of the community, almost – or even completely – a team member who receives more respect. If you have a company car, you don’t even have to deal with this part financially, but if you don’t have one, you still have to reimburse him for the kilometers driven.

One way or another, it is important not to get involved in unfavorable constructions and if you go by car or scooter, pay attention to possible unexpected expenses or losses. After all, if you have to take the car to a mechanic, you lose your job and thus your income, without paid vacation. In contrast to, say, a stable workplace, where all this can be done flexibly, in accordance with the labor code.

Maybe one day the day will come, but then not only their jobs will be in danger…
