Daytime students working as members in a school cooperative and the school cooperative employing them are not subject to the obligation to pay social security contributions.
Our organization, Y Generation School Cooperative, is a special economic entity operating under specific regulations with the participation of full-time students. It focuses on identifying and managing student work opportunities that fit students' schedules. The cooperative is a legal entity aimed at facilitating the economic and other social (cultural, educational, social, healthcare) needs of its members (Act X of 2006, Cooperative Act, Section 7). Within this, the school cooperative is a social cooperative where at least 90% of the members are full-time students, and an educational institution is one of the founding members. Its task is to assist in meeting the economic and educational needs of its members. It achieves this by providing earning opportunities and work experience through student jobs for its members who are studying in secondary and higher education.
Becoming a member is possible by joining the cooperative. Entry, exit, and exclusion from the Y Generation School Cooperative are defined by the Cooperative Act and the cooperative's bylaws. In most school cooperatives, besides purchasing a share and having a full-time student status, there are no other conditions for entry. Admission cannot be denied to anyone who meets these conditions. All cooperative members have equal ownership shares. The share represents this ownership right and entitles the member to exercise membership rights. A member can leave at any time at their discretion, and the cooperative will repurchase the share. Excluding a member is only possible under very strict conditions based on the Cooperative Act.
To work through a school cooperative, the worker must simultaneously be a full-time student and a member of the school cooperative. Additionally, the cooperative enters into a membership agreement with the member.
Work can be undertaken from the age of 15 with parental permission during school holidays, and from the age of 16 with parental permission at any time. For those under 18, night work (between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM) and overtime are prohibited.
Students are entitled to at least the minimum wage. If the job requires at least a secondary education or vocational qualification, they are entitled to at least the guaranteed minimum wage.
