Key points

  • The proposal seeks to update the rules for workers sent temporarily to work in other EU countries to ensure fair competition.
  • A core objective is to implement the principle of 'equal pay for equal work' by extending host country remuneration standards to posted workers.
  • If a worker is posted for more than 24 months, the laws of the country where they are working will generally apply.
  • Member States are required to publish clear information about pay and working conditions on a single official website.
