In this episode of The Inside Track, Grace Shie and Paul Sarauskas break down the EU Posted Workers Directive — the law designed to protect workers who are temporarily sent into the European Union to perform services. They discuss what triggers a posted worker notification, how requirements vary significantly across EU member states, and why even short-term business trips by non-EU citizens into the EU can create filing obligations. Paul walks through the full compliance lifecycle, from pre-trip assessments and notification filings to ongoing document retention requirements, and highlights the potentially severe penalties for non-compliance. The episode closes with practical tips for employers looking to build a robust process for managing posted worker obligations across their global mobility programs.
