What is Posting of workers?
Any foreign employer wishing to provide working services in another country must comply with the hosting country’s social laws, which means that remuneration and working conditions (work times, break times…) must be applied to the posted workers. In case of failing to comply with these obligations, foreign companies may be considered to infringe the country’s rules and be subject to fines.
The posting of an employee occurs when the employee carries out his work “outside the national territory” for an employer established outside the territory where the work is performed.
The foreign employer has a number of obligations with which it must comply before its employee’s assignment, in particular in regard to immigration, labour law and social security.
What are your obligations?
In France:
- Employer should pay the French minimum wage (social contributions remain due in the country of origin)
- Employees’ work time to not exceed
- Appointing a representative who will be dealing with French administration
- Submitting a declaration per posted worker called SIPSI declaration in France
- For the construction industry in France, for each of the posted workers a BTP card (construction card) is mandatory.
- Employees should have on the worksites a mandatory banner about their working conditions and rights translated in the language of the employees.
