On 1 July 2023, the framework agreement on cross-border telework signed by 18 European member states came into force. This historic agreement marks an important development in how telework is handled within social security frameworks.

The transition period for teleworkers in cross-border employment was recently extended to 30 June 2023. As a result, the measures in place during the coronavirus pandemic are still in place. Also, the social security system currently applicable to cross-border workers working from home will in principle continue to apply. We are happy to tell you more about it.

From 11 July 2022 and as a result of the transposition of European Directive 2020/1057 on posting drivers in the road transport sector and amending the enforcement requirements, stricter rules apply to foreign workers posted to Belgium.
