With the Employees Insurance Act (AVG) of May 28, 1924, the "Insurance Act for Employees" (VGfA) of December 20, 1911 was revised. This also created a pension for the employees.
On the other hand, there was a pension for the workers since June 1889; this was re-regulated in 1911 with the introduction of the Reich Insurance Code (RVO) in Book Four of the RVO .
The Insurance Act for Salaried Employees (VGfA) of December 20, 1911 was based on a demand by the social politician Dr. Diederich Hahn (1859–1918) in the German Reichstag, now after Bismarck's old-age and disability insurance of 1889 for the workers, the steadily increasing group of employees - at that time they were referred to as "private employees" - to put under appropriate pension protection.
The final incorporation of employee insurance into federal law took place on January 1, 1965 ( Federal Law Gazette III p. 84).
On January 1, 1992, the Sixth Book of the Social Security Code (SGB VI) came into force and replaced the AVG. With SGB VI, the pension insurance for workers and employees was legally standardized. From now on there were only differences with regard to the responsibility of the Federal Insurance Agency for salaried employees (salaried employees) and the state insurance institutions (workers). On October 1, 2005, both institutions became part of the Deutsche Rentenversicherung . The distinction between manual workers and employees was given up on January 1, 2005.

If the supervisory boards and directors who, on the one hand, receive the high royalties, on the other hand had a sufficient degree of liability on their shoulders, they would probably do their duty very differently ...
