REMINDER | Posted Workers: Notification May Be Required on 30 July
July 27, 2020
On 30 July 2020 the newest Posted Worker Directive will need to be transposed into national legislations of all EU and EEA countries. One of the key changes in the Directive is the requirement to apply an extended set of host country working condition regulations to a posting if the posting lasts more than 12 months. This 12-month period can be extended to 18 months by filing a motivated notification to the authorities.
The process through which to file such motivated notification varies by country – some countries are updating their online Posted Worker Notification system to incorporate this new requirement, while other countries, for example, require a separate email to be sent to the responsible authorities. The approach to postings already lasting more than twelve, but less than 18, months on 30 July also varies by country. For example, for any postings already lasting between 12-18 months on 30 July, the Netherlands automatically extends the 12 to 18 months, while Belgium requires the motivated notification to be filed on 30 July through an electronic form which will only become available on that day.
Our Advice
Newland Chase reminds all employers to check if they have any posted workers on postings between 12-18 months on 30 July, and to check on the motivated notification requirements for those countries, if they want to extend the period of only applying the core host country working requirements to 18 months.
