How to work from home in an international, post-Covid context
Belgium’s temporary Covid-19 arrangements with the Netherlands, France, Germany and Luxembourg will come to an end on 30 June 2022. However, teleworking will continue to play a crucial role even after the pandemic. In an international context, this has implications for both employers and employees, and not just in relation to neighbouring countries.
Use this checklist to ensure you are properly prepared for teleworking post-Covid.
Telework checklist
- Number of teleworking days per week?
- Social security implications?
- Shift in tax obligations between employer/employee?
- Appropriate employment contract? Mandatory labour law provisions in host country?
- Financial impact?
- Obligation to run a ‘shadow payroll’ in the host country?
- Wage component taxation in the two countries involved?
- Teleworking policy?
