Determining The Correct Social Security Status Of Foreign Assignments

Cross-border work has become an integral part of many companies; foreign assignments are part of the daily routine in most companies. One of the key issues in HR in this regard is the correct social security system. In some situations, it is easier to determine the correct coverage than in others.

One mistake you should never make, however, is to think that the same situations always result in the same social security coverage. In most cases, the situations differ in small details, which are elementary for determining the social insurance obligation. Only with the right social insurance cover will the employee receive the right insurance protection during the assignment abroad. This can otherwise be very expensive, especially in the event of accident, illness, or disability.
