Detachment and expatriation are two forms of international mobility that have different implications regarding employment contracts, social security coverage, and taxation. Detachment allows employees to remain affiliated with the social security system of their home country. Expatriation, on the other hand, often involves switching to a local contract and a foreign social security regime.
Our lawyers specializing in international employment law can help you secure your contracts and advise you on the legal framework best suited to your situation.

A carefully drafted employment contract for international mobility must specify the conditions of expatriation or detachment, the applicable social security regime, benefits associated with the foreign assignment and return arrangements.
