In an increasingly networked working world, it has become quite normal for companies in the EU to temporarily send employees to other EU countries - whether for a project, an assembly or to support a subsidiary. But with the Posting of foreign skilled workers within the EU<\/strong> there are some legal, administrative and practical points to consider.<\/p>\n

1 What does \"secondment\" mean?<\/h2>\n

A secondment is when a company sends an employee Temporary<\/strong> to another EU country to carry out a specific job there. The employment contract with the original employer remains in place during the posting.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong>
A Spanish IT company sends a programmer to Germany for three months to implement a new software system for a customer.<\/p>\n

2 Who can be posted within the EU?<\/h2>\n

A distinction is made between:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    EU\/EEA\/Swiss nationals:<\/strong> In principle, they can work and be posted within the EU without a visa.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Third-country nationals with a residence and work permit in an EU country:<\/strong> Special rules apply depending on the destination country. In many cases, an additional permit or visa is required.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Example:<\/strong>
    A Turkish national with a permanent residence permit in France cannot automatically be posted to Germany without further ado. It must be checked whether they require an additional permit.<\/p>\n

    3. social insurance: A1 certificate<\/h2>\n

    A key document in the secondment process is the so-called A1 certificate<\/strong>. It confirms that the employee continues to be covered by social insurance in the home country during the posting.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      It is applied for in the country in which the employee is regularly employed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      This is a prerequisite for avoiding double social security contributions in the host country.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Example:<\/strong>
      A Polish fitter is sent to Austria for 4 months. With an A1 certificate, he remains insured in Poland and does not have to register in Austria.<\/p>\n

      4. minimum working conditions in the host country<\/h2>\n

      Even if the posted employee is employed in the country of origin, certain conditions must be met in the host country. Labor law conditions<\/strong> are complied with - in particular:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Minimum wage<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Maximum working hours \/ rest periods<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Health and safety in the workplace<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        These requirements are set out in the EU Posting of Workers Directive<\/strong> and are intended to ensure that posted workers are not treated less favorably.<\/p>\n

        5. reporting obligations in the country of destination<\/h2>\n

        Many EU countries require that the posting before starting work<\/strong> is reported electronically - included:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          Name of the employee<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Period and place of secondment<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Contact person in the host country<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Example:<\/strong>
          In France, the portal SIPSI<\/strong> a posting notification must be submitted before the activity begins.<\/p>\n

          6. posting of third-country nationals within the EU<\/h2>\n

          If a third-country national (e.g. from Turkey, India or Ukraine) is employed in an EU country, they often need an additional visa or a special permit to be posted to another EU country.<\/p>\n

          Example:<\/strong>
          A Turkish employee employed in the Netherlands is to be posted to Germany for two months. As a rule, a Special visa<\/strong> or a Work permit for posted workers<\/strong> required.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
