Bus/Financial - Insurance
German term or phrase: Arbeitsmiete/Dienstmiete
From a Swiss insurance contract: this is a similar clause I found on the internet:

Von der Versicherung ausgeschlossen sind
Ansprüche aus Personenschäden, von denen eine durch den Versicherungsnehmer auf Grund eines Ar-beiterstellungsvertrages (Arbeitsmiete bzw. Dienstmie-te) beschäftigte Person in Ausübung ihrer arbeitsver-traglichen oder geschäftlichen Verrichtungen für dieversicherten Gebäude, Grundstücke oder Anlagen be-troffen wird. Der Ausschluss ist auf Regress- und Aus-gleichsansprüche Dritter beschränkt für Leistungen, diesie den Geschädigten ausgerichtet haben

obviously dienstmiete/arbeitsmiete refers to a type of employment relationship. My undersatnding based on a bit of research is that it basically means if you hire somebody to a specific job - say a plumber to fid the plumbing - then he will be paid aan arbeitsmiete/dienstmiete.

I can only think of a paraphrase translation, or possibly saying "casual employment relationship" or words to that effect, but that strikes me as not quite right.

anyone come across this and any suggestions

römisches Recht mandatum = freier Auftrag
locatio conductio rei = Sklavenmiete
locatio conductio operarum = Dienstmiete

Could "Arbeitsmiete" refer to "locatio conductio operis (the letting and hiring of work)"? Would make sense. Let's see if I can find some references.

Explanation:
An exact rendering of arbeitsmiete/dienstmiete may not be possible, is this a workable approximation?
