93. Posting Lab - online workshop
Join us for the 93rd Posting Lab, which will take place on 25 January. The topic of the workshop will be risks and procedures related to the amendment of the legislation applicable to social security. Participation online only as always on the zoom platform. The workshop will be led by Marek Benio and Marcin Kiełbasa.
In order to sign up for the workshop, we kindly ask you to fill in the application form by clicking REGISTRATION
We invite representatives of companies - posting practitioners, ZUS employees issuing and especially withdrawing issued A1 certificates, as well as those accepting applications for the conclusion of an exception agreement. We invite researchers interested in labour mobility, lawyers and business advisors and representatives of social partners interested in the issues of cross-border provision of services, temporary work abroad or alternating work in several Member States.
Workshop topics
The question of what are the legal consequences of the withdrawal of an A1 certificate by ZUS and what steps can/should be taken after receiving such a decision is inspired by the judgment of the Court of Justice of the EU in a case concerning the withdrawal of an A1 certificate ex officio and without a dialogue procedure by the ZUS branch in Toruń (C-422/22). Addressing this issue is all the more important as it was not the subject of the aforementioned ruling. The question was only whether A1 can be withdrawn ex officio without "asking" the French social security institution in this case. Yes, it can. If this happens, the insured risks losing his or her insurance cover, not necessarily linked to the recovery of the premiums paid.
During the workshop, we will follow an example of the procedures for notifying or declaring to insure another Member State, evidently out of time because of the revocation of the A1 certificate. We will answer who is responsible for the correct notification and payment of contributions under the applicable legislation, and under what rules and sanctions. We will consider scenarios in which benefits have been granted while the withdrawn A1 is in force.
