Work From Anywhere’s Post

Friday news and Posted Workers changes coming up (in the long future)! 👇 The European Commission has proposed a single digital portal to simplify the posting worker declarations across the EU. ⭐️What will this mean The proposal offers one portal available in all EU languages, allowing businesses to submit and manage declarations in their local language, aiming for an average 73% reduction in time spent on declarations. The proposal facilitates uniform EU law application, better inspections, and empowers posted workers by allowing them access to their declarations. 🇪🇺What’s the difference At the current moment Member States have separate portals, with some countries even having regional portals. This creates complexities for entities wanting to be compliant. While Member States can choose whether to adopt the uniform portal, early adopters could set a precedent, with nine countries already aligning their systems. Sounds complex? More changes? We got you! Our two upcoming webinars on posted workers are here to guide you.

On November 13, the European Commission proposed a single digital declaration portal to streamline the process for companies temporarily sending workers (posted workers) to other Member States. This initiative aims to reduce the administrative burden on businesses while maintaining high protection standards for workers. Key Highlights: 1. What the Portal Offers: - A single digital form replacing 27 different national forms. - Available in all official EU languages, with streamlined data points for ease of use. - Expected to reduce declaration time by 73%, significantly lowering costs for businesses. 2. Benefits for Member States: - Integrated into the Internal Market Information System (IMI) to enhance cooperation and transparency. - Simplified processes for monitoring compliance and conducting inspections. 3. Worker Protections Enhanced: - Simplified declarations ensure better compliance with posting rules. - Member States can share declarations with posted workers, increasing transparency and rights awareness. 4. Background: - This proposal aligns with the EU’s goal of reducing companies' reporting burdens by 25% as part of the Long-term Competitiveness of the EU initiative. - It builds on existing legislation, including Directive 96/71/EC and Directive 2014/67/EU, promoting fair mobility and employment standards. The single portal is a significant step toward fostering fair and efficient cross-border labor mobility within the EU, benefiting businesses and workers alike.

The eagerly-awaited EU Platform Workers Directive has finally been passed. It delegates key decisions on who is a platform worker to the Member States, while strengthening controls over automated decision making and the need for human involvement in decisions affecting workers.

I have recently been undertaking diligence around "Misclassification of employment" in preparation for some client work. This is important for those who regularly use #Contractors (who might resemble #Employees), particularly for long periods of time ... The #EU has been debating how to tighten up rules surrounding #Misclassification and the use of #algorithms in the workplace, for those working through digital labour platforms (e.g. Delivery and Taxi Services), and I wanted to share what has recently been approved by the Council in the #PlatformWorkDirective (#PWD) (European Parliament is due to vote on the DRAFT next month). This is a useful reference point, as clearly Members States (sovereign jurisdictions) all have vested interests and differing opinions and you can see that with the EC's "intent" to ensure that Workers Rights are consistently applied, Members states will still be able to fall back on National laws, Collective Agreements and Case law (as now) in situations where there is debate on whether a Worker is indeed an Employee, or not. So, there are correct principles in place by the EU, but remain conscious that Members States all have local nuances and practice to balance. Therefore, Companies still need to work hard to ensure that THEY CAN PROVE that Workers are Contractors and not Employees (and how they structure that engagement is important). https://lnkd.in/eYEZyHtz #EmploymentCompliance #CEO #HR #governance #startups #SME
