EU-specific Labor Law Compliance

In practice, the impact of Labor Law on cross-border work deployment is often underestimated due to the assumption that cross-border workers always fall under the  Labor Law regime of the home country. However, where multiple countries are involved, multiple regimes apply simultaneously in principle. So the question is, which rules apply in a situation where various regimes might apply?

In this section of the Portal, you will find lessons on cross-border labor law in the context of EU Community Law.
