  • Health Insurance: 50% paid by Phorms

    As a Phorms employee, we cover half the cost of your health insurance. We are happy to help you find the right insurance for you to fulfil your mandatory insurance obligation in Germany. There are around 150 statutory health insurance providers in Germany, all of which offer basic insurance that can be supplemented with additional services. Every citizen with statutory insurance receives an insurance card from their insurance provider. The number on the card is required by their employer, and is also needed for the individual to take advantage of medical care.

    Many services offered by statutory insurance providers are covered by the monthly payments. As an employee, you cover 50% of these payments, which is deducted directly from your gross salary. Various additional services can be covered through private insurance payments.

    We don’t expect you to be an expert in everything. We are happy to help you get to grips with the German tax system. The financial authorities assign an exclusive tax ID number to every taxable natural or legal person.
