Employee secondments in the EU

01.05.2010

New standards on social security apply for secondments in the European Union

Since May 5, 2010 the EU-decree 883/2004/EG has become effective:

•It is now possible to fix the time period for the employee secondment of 24 months a priori.

•In case there is more than one country of activity, the requirements to continue payments to the social security system of the home country were increased.

•The certificate „E101“ is replaced by the new certificate „A1“. The determinations stated in this certification are preliminary. They become binding, unless the country of activity contradict within a period of two months.

In EWR-countries the EU-decree 1408/71/EWG is still valid
