Secondment of an employee or the problem of multi-activity?

Secondment of an employee and the notion of pluriactivity

Case of an employee from the European Union

Secondment agreement

When an employee is seconded, he or she remains on the payroll and under the subordination of his or her employer. It is up to the employer to formalize the conditions of the secondment during the assignment, and the relationship with the host company, by means of an amendment to the employment contract.
Secondment is always temporary. Consequently, the secondment agreement provides for the employee's reinstatement at the end of the assignment.

The agreement also determines the social security legislation and regime applicable during the period of secondment.

Applicable legal system pluriactivity

When a company seconds one of its employees, it is the employer's responsibility to complete the obligatory formalities and comply with a number of rules.
The form relating to the applicable social security legislation must be made available to the labor inspectorate, on pain of financial penalties.

In principle, a seconded employee falling within the scope of European regulations is subject to the social security system of his/her country of origin. However, there are limits to this principle when the seconded employee works in more than one country.

In accordance with European regulations, an employee is considered to be pluriactivity when he or she works simultaneously or alternately on the territory of two or more EU-EEA-Switzerland member states.

In order to respect the principle of a single social security legislation, the regulations set out rules for determining the legislation applicable to people involved in multi-activity. Article 13 of European regulation no. 883/04 provides for the assessment of the place of residence as well as the place where the employee carries out his or her substantial activity.

The substantial activity of an employee in a pluriactivity situation is considered as soon as the working hours and/or remuneration of the employee concerned exceed 25% of the total activity.

Are you seconded on a multi-activity basis and wondering which social security system applies? Are you an employer who would like assistance in drawing up a secondment contract, or with the various formalities required when your employee is seconded?

Me Ladjeroud-Bounaas can help you with all these issues.
