Analysis and drafting
Is the secondment correctly structured? Is a specific agreement required? Which host country rules apply?
We analyse the structure of the arrangement and draft the secondment agreement, coordinating with local partners to ensure compliance with mandatory rules (remuneration, working time, health and safety).
We also verify that the arrangement is genuine and compliant with EU posted workers regulations.
Service delivery
A&P services are delivered either remotely or on-site, depending on the client’s needs.
Our operating model includes:
- remote management of all related accounting, tax, and administrative requirements
- digital tools ensuring maximum efficiency without the need for travel
- support provided by our professionals in English
Timing
Support should be activated during the preliminary phase of international mobility, before the employee starts working abroad, to ensure proper structuring of the secondment and compliant documentation.
Within 24 hours of receiving the request, we provide initial feedback and begin collecting information through a dedicated form.
This is followed by an internal analysis carried out by our specialist teams and the sharing of our proposal and fee quote.
Once the required documentation is collected, operational activities begin, with timelines defined based on the complexity of the case and focused on efficiency.
Secondment risks
What happens if a secondment is mismanaged?
Non-compliant arrangements may lead to reclassification of the employment relationship and penalties for breaches of Directive 96/71/EC.
Specialist support ensures compliance with host country rules and reduces the risk of disputes.
International companies
Italian companies posting employees abroad and foreign companies assigning personnel to Italy, within intra-group arrangements or service agreements, requiring proper qualification of the secondment and full employment law compliance.
