EU directive 883/2004

Webinar: EU directive 883/2004 on social security and cross-border labour within the EU, EEA and Switzerland.

The EU directive on social security regulates the way cross-border labour is subject to social security systems within the EU, EEA and Switzerland. In particular, it focuses on migrants and self-employment people who live in one country and work in another, either permanently or on a temporary basis.

EU directive 883/2004 succeeds EU directive 1408/71 and comes into effect on May 1, 2010.

While the aim of the new directive is to simplify current regulations, it may mean that employers experience far-reaching changes to their way of working.

Foreign postings may be liable to social insurance premiums in countries other than the ones you were used to.
You are required by law to inform staff about that new social security system.
Even if you do not need to adapt to the new social insurance system for a 10 year changeover period, your employees can ask you to do so if it is more advantageous for them.

The new rules may lead not only to an increase in the administrative burden but may also have salary implications because employers tax and premium charges may be higher or lower.

In order to help you choose if the new directive has implications for your company, the Expatise Knowledge Centre is pleased to offer you a webinar*. The webinar will be given by Jo Sijstermans and Carlo Douven, both experts in international labour-related tax and social security issues and both attached to the Centre.

The webinars will be given every Thursday in March at 16.00 hours. Each webinar will be given to a small group with a maximum of nine participants. This will maximise interactivity and give each participant the opportunity to pose questions and receive answers. The webinars will last appr. 1 hour.

If you are interested, please register via this link. Please give an indication of your level of expertise in terms of cross-border social security and state whether you prefer to attend the webinar in Dutch or English. We will take these factors into account when putting together the groups.
