Very often, people going to work in one of the EU or EFTA countries are accompanied by the fear that they won’t be able to benefit from medical assistance during their trip. These concerns are unfounded. The legislation provides for several types of documents entitling to use health care services. Below we will explain how the different documents differ from each other and to which health care services they give right.

As of 1 July 2023, the provisions changing the salary slip template became applicaple in France. A new item has been introduced to the pay slip: “net social amount”. Seemingly, the change in question isn’t drastic. However, this modification is of a great importance in reality. Why? We will explain it later in this article.

On 1 July 2023, an increase in unemployment benefits in France occurred. The change in question is caused by very high inflation.

On 23 May 2023, a draft law on the posting of drivers in road transport was adopted by the Council of Ministers. This project aims to adapt the Polish provisions related to the secondment of drivers to EU solutions included in the so-called Mobility Package. The proposed changes in Polish legal regulations cover both carriers based in Poland and drivers sent abroad by them, as well as transport companies from other countries, directing their employees to carry out road transport operations in the territory of the Republic of Poland.

Groups of companies are created by enterprises with capital ties. These links are very strong. Therefore, it’s very common to post workers between enterprises belonging to the same group. If the secondment takes place to an entity belonging to a group of entrepreneurs and located in another Member State, it must fulfil the requirements determined in EU law.

In Germany, taxpayers are divided into tax classes. Belonging to a given tax class affects the amount of income tax. Therefore, it’s worth finding out what tax classes are.

The EHIC Card is the most well-known document giving entitlement to treatment abroad. It gives the right to receive medical care only to the extent necessary. This means that the scope of treatment authorised by the EHIC is quite narrow. If you are planning a longer stay abroad, it’s better to obtain a document that will guarantee the possibility to benefit from medical care services in a much wider scope than the EHIC card. The S1 document is such a certificate.

On 1 January 2023, a significant change to the rules on French withholding tax occurred.

On 26 April 2023, the legal solutions introduced by the Act of 9 March 2023 mending the Labour Code and certain other acts (Official Journal of 2023, item 641) came into force. One of the novelties is the change concerning the scope of information on employment conditions that the employer provides to the newly engaged worker. Moreover, the employer is obliged to give appropriate information to an employee going to work or perform a professional task abroad.

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.
