Employment Management and International Coverage for Posted Workers

When a company plans to assign an employee abroad, it is essential to consider the applicable Social Security obligations and the impact that the assignment may have on future social benefits. Each employee has a different personal situation, and for an international assignment to be attractive, the potential effects on social security entitlements must always be taken into account.

International Social Security Bilateral Agreements regulate the duration and scope of coverage, healthcare assistance, social security contributions, and other social benefits available to posted workers in the destination country. In cases where no bilateral agreement exists, it is equally important to assess the most suitable strategy and any additional procedures that may need to be considered.

A detailed analysis of the coverage provided by bilateral agreements, the coordination between the legislation of the home and host countries, and the possibility of establishing special agreements can greatly contribute to the success of the assignment and the company’s internationalization process.

At Expatfeliu, we advise companies on social security contributions, bilateral agreements, healthcare coverage, and international social benefits, ensuring regulatory compliance while minimizing employment, administrative, and compliance risks in international mobility projects.
