You're not informed. You don't pay social security on a "minijob" or 450-Euro-job. ( see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_employment or the more extensive German wiki article)

But in Germany is mandatory to pay the social security, so yes, your employer will not pay your social security for you. Instead of that, you should pay it from your pocket.

No. Your employer pays a fixed amount for social security while you don't pay anything.

In case you understand German: "Bei einer geringfügigen Beschäftigung trägt der Arbeitgeber Lohnsteuer, Solidaritätszuschlag und Kirchensteuer sowie Sozialversicherungsbeiträge."

(see here:https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geringf%C3%BCgige_Besch%C3%A4f...)

In a 450 Euro job, you get 450 Euro.
