The Posted Workers Directive is an EU regulation ensuring that workers temporarily sent by their employer to another EU/EEA country are protected under fair working conditions.
A “posted worker” is not a local hire – they remain employed by a company in one country but perform services in another EU/EEA country for a limited time.
Automated Decision Tool
Employees answer a few key questions when a travel is registered — about their trip’s duration, purpose, and whether work will be performed. Based on the destination country’s rules, the
Relocare Compliance App tells them (and HR) if registration is required.
Instant Alerts for HR
HR receives immediate notifications when a registration is required, including who, where, when,
and how to register.
Smart Dashboards
Easily track your team’s travel and compliance status across all EU/EEA countries. Reports
generated can be used for other compliance matters too, like tax and payroll.
Built-in A1 Form Handling
Integrated auto-filling for Denmark and Sweden and data handling for all EU/EEA countries.
Companies and sectors supported:
Relocare Compliance App supports all sectors and companies except for Aviation, EOR
companies or Temp-Team agencies.
A worker is considered posted, when an employee is sent abroad temporarily to another EU/EEA country to carry out a service, while maintaining their employment contract in their home country and with no employment contract in the destination country. In short, this is what many companies would call a “business traveler” or “project worker”. That is why many companies unintentionally overlook the demand for compliance.
Each country in the EU has its own rules, registration portals, deadlines and required documentation — making compliance across borders extremely complex for HR teams.
– Meet the Relocare Compliance App
At Relocare, we have developed a smart solution under the Relocaretech umbrella as an extension to the A1 management service – to help our clients navigate these challenges efficiently and stay fully compliant.
The Relocare Compliance App provides a simplification of these demands, helping to avoiding fines for your company, exculsion from opportunities, and most importantly, ensuring employee saftey. We are specialists with intricate knowledge of the independent countries EU requierments, providing consultaions and building solutions to account for your businessses responsibility.
The Relocare Compliance App ensures that your international assignments are compliant and
efficient. When an employee is scheduled to work abroad, the app first verifies whether an A1 certificate is required for the destination country.
If A1 registration is applicable, the app initiates the necessary process through an intuitive wizard
that guides both HR and the employee step by step. The system also checks whether a Posted Workers Directive (PWD) registration is mandatory in the specific country.
In this example, the country is Austria – where PWD registration is not required for this assignment. As such, the wizard skips that step and proceeds accordingly.
Once the process is complete, both the employee and HR receive automatic notifications, ensuring
full transparency and compliance.
With the Compliance App, you’re always one step ahead – fully informed, fully compliant, and fully protected.
We're here to support your next career move no matter your field or level of experience. Reach out today, and one of our specialists will be in touch shortly.
