Generato dall'IA**Final operative outcome:** The Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) declined to accept the constitutional complaint for decision, thereby upholding the lower court's ruling and leaving the original assessment of the complainant's employee status in force. **Dispute and material facts:** The complainant challenged the Federal Labour Court's determination that she was an employee rather than an independent contractor while providing services for a yoga and meditation center; she argued that the association was a religious or worldview community and that her duties (including maintenance of accommodation/seminal operations and sales of yoga products) were religiously imbued, which should preclude standard employment classification. **Decisive legal basis:** The Court relied on § 23 (1) sentence 2 and § 92 BVerfGG (failure to meet pleading requirements) and § 93a (1) BVerfGG (lack of grounds for acceptance), concluding that the applicant failed to demonstrate that the specific services rendered were intrinsically religious in nature, rendering any potential conflict with Article 4 (1) and (2) of the Basic Law moot.

Nichtannahmebeschluss: Erfolglose Verfassungsbeschwerde bzgl der Arbeitnehmereigenschaft von Sevaka-Mitgliedern eines Yoga- und Meditationszentrums - religiöse Prägung der Dienstleistung weder dargelegt noch ersichtlich
[TENOR]
Die Verfassungsbeschwerde wird nicht zur Entscheidung angenommen, weil sie den gesetzlichen Darlegungsanforderungen nicht gerecht wird (§ 23 Abs. 1 Satz 2, § 92 BVerfGG) und es an einem Annahmegrund fehlt (§ 93a Abs. 1 BVerfGG, vgl. BVerfGE 111, 1 ). Es kann dahinstehen, ob die Annahme des Bundesarbeitsgerichts, bei dem Beschwerdeführer, einem „(…)“-Verein, handele es sich nicht um eine Religions- oder Weltanschauungsgemeinschaft, mit Artikel 4 Absatz 1 und 2 Grundgesetz vereinbar ist. Denn es ist weder dargelegt noch sonst ersichtlich, dass die von der Klägerin des Ausgangsverfahrens geleisteten Dienste der Aufrechterhaltung des Beherbergungs- und Seminarbetriebs des Vereins und des Vertriebs von Yoga-Produkten, um deren arbeitsrechtliche Beurteilung es hier geht, für sich genommen religiös geprägt waren.
Von einer weiteren Begründung der Nichtannahme der Verfassungsbeschwerde zur Entscheidung wird nach § 93d Abs. 1 Satz 3 BVerfGG abgesehen.
