Second date of the beginners’ workshop – ABC of posting

88th Posting Lab - online workshop

Join us for the 88th Posting Lab, which will take place on Thursday 31 August. The Posting Lab is designed for those new to posting. The same workshop was held on 20 July, so we welcome those who were unable to sign up due to the holiday period.

Workshop topics

Labour mobility is not the same as worker mobility and a posted worker is rarely in a posting. Whenever an employee or contractor crosses an internal EU border for work purposes, it is necessary to resolve conflicts between the different legal systems. Under which rules do we calculate his or her working time, and especially overtime, when the weekly norm is 40 hours in one Member State, 35 hours in another, and 48 hours in yet another? Where do we pay social security contributions and at what rate and on what basis? Whether and where to make advance payments of income tax? How to determine the components and the amount of remuneration? Light form, lots of examples, Q&A.
