Further labour law and social security changes entered into
force in Hungary at the start of 2020, or are expected to become
effective during the year, including changes to the treatment of
posted workers, rules on social security contributions and the
imminent abolition of the specialist administrative and labour
courts.
- Amendments to the Labour
Code: posted workers
In addition to the Labour Code changes described in the previous
alert, from 30 July 2020 Hungary will implement the Posted
Workers Directive (EU Directive 2018/957 on amendment of the
96/71/EK Directive on placement of posted temporary workers in
the frame of service provisions), by extending the mandatory
provisions on allowances and costs reimbursement. This means that
living costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with the
posting will be reimbursed in line with Hungarian employment laws
and practice. This will apply to all reimbursement.
