Postings to France: Everything important at a glance.

When companies temporarily post employees to France, legal regulations and a structured process must be observed. Registration is carried out via central online portal SIPSI, which requires advance notifications to supervisory authorities. Depending on the activity and duration, there are specific regulations, including insurance coverage and work permits.

Advance registrations and exceptions: If a company sends employees to France on its own account (e.g. for internal meetings), the reporting formalities are omitted.

The process of sending messages in France:

1. Determine the country of sending:

- Home country remains the country of posting if employees work temporarily in France and continue to have social insurance there.

2. Prepare documents:

- Prepare necessary documents, including employment contract, social security certificate in the home country, proof of salary and working hours, travel and residence documents.

3. Submit a PWD report:

- Electronic submission to the French Labour Inspectorate via the SIPSI portal.

- Submit at least 48 hours before work starts.

4. Get proof:

- After successful submission, the employer receives a confirmation, which must be kept while working in France.

5. Comply with employment and social security regulations:

- While working in France, both employer and employee must comply with all applicable employment and social security regulations, including payment of social security contributions.

Note: It is important to note that filing the PWD notification is only part of the legal requirements for posting workers in France. Other rules and regulations must also be observed, in particular with regard to tax liability and local working conditions.
