EU Posted Workers – Streamlined Cross-Border Assignments Across the EU
The posting of workers within the European Union enables employers to temporarily assign their employees to another EU member state in order to carry out specific tasks or projects. This legal framework is particularly relevant for multinational companies, staffing agencies, and project-based businesses operating across borders.
A typical Intra-EU Posted Worker remains employed by their home-country employer while working temporarily in a host country. Although the employment contract remains governed by the home jurisdiction, the employer must ensure full compliance with host country labour laws and administrative requirements.
At Across Border, we assist employers in managing this complex process efficiently and compliantly.
Our services include:
- Full legal compliance with the EU Posting of Workers Directive (2018/957/EU)
- Notification procedures with local authorities in the host country (e.g. postedworkers.nl in the Netherlands)
- Handling of employment and working condition requirements, including minimum wage, rest periods, and collective labour agreements
- Assistance with mandatory A1 certificates to confirm continued social security coverage in the home country
- Strategic guidance to avoid misclassification, non-compliance penalties, or reputational risks
We ensure that your cross-border assignments are not only operationally smooth, but also fully compliant with national and EU-level obligations.
Whether you’re deploying a specialist to a short-term project or managing a large-scale international workforce, Across Border provides end-to-end support for a compliant and practical posting process.
