The Union legislation imposes an obligation on employers to report the posting of workers to the appropriate authorities of host countries. Therefore, each EU country has taken measures allowing to make such a notification, e.g. the SIPSI portal was created in France, and in Germany – ZOLL. Submitting a declaration is relatively easy in most countries. However, there is an exception to this rule. This is CLICLAVORO, i.e. the notification of the posting of employees to Italy.
(more…)In France, every employer is obliged to issue a pay slip (Bulletin de salaire/Fiche de paie/Bulletin de paie/Bulletin de paie clarifié) to a worker. Legal provisions strictly define what such a document should contain and what information can’t be included on it. In practice, these wage slips are created according to a scheme and thanks to that, there are very similar to each other. This allowed to prepare a short guide designed to “decipher” salary slip.

(more…)Persons who want to work in a country of the European Union other than Poland often ask the question posed in the title of this article. We will try to answer it.

The employee may also perform work from the territory of a country other than the State where the employer is established. Nevertheless, in this case, there are doubts that concern the taxation method applied to the remuneration of such a worker.
