Talk Track
VERSION 1: Clarity & Compliance Confidence Focus
Pillars: Transparency, Compliance, Trust
Yes, EOR talents can travel for business trips. In most cases, this is absolutely possible and part of normal day to day operations.
If the travel takes place within Europe, certain documents such as an A1 certificate, or a similar local equivalent, are required. These documents help protect your talent by confirming that social security continues to be paid in the correct country while they are travelling.
The one situation where we do need you to contact WorkMotion in advance is when the talent is travelling to the country where your company is based as the risk is higher. In those cases, we review the travel to ensure everything remains compliant and that there are no potential tax or regulatory risks for you or the talent.
VERSION 2: Effortless Planning & Talent Protection Focus
Pillars: Effortless, Customer & Talent Experience, Transparency
Yes, business travel is possible for EOR talents and is often straightforward.
For travel within Europe, we simply need to make sure the right protections are in place for your talent. This usually means arranging an A1 certificate or a similar document, which ensures their social security coverage remains uninterrupted while they are abroad.
We only need to be involved directly if the travel is to the country where your company is based due to a potential increase in risk. In that case, a quick check with us helps avoid any unexpected tax or regulatory issues and ensures the trip runs smoothly for everyone involved.
VERSION 3: Partnership & Risk Awareness Focus
Pillars: Trust, Customer & Talent Experience, Transparency
Yes, EOR talents can travel for work, and in many cases this can be managed without any issue.
When travelling within Europe, certain formalities such as A1 certificates are important. These documents exist to protect the talent and confirm that the correct social security system continues to apply during the trip.
The key point to be aware of is travel to the country where your business is based. In those cases, we ask that you involve WorkMotion before the trip. This allows us to review the situation together and make sure there are no tax or regulatory risks, so both your business and your talent are fully protected.
