True Care for your business travelers
Business travellers are leagally required to have an approved A1 application with them on all business travels. The A1 certificate is an approval from the authorities stating the employee has the right to remain under social security while working in another EU country.
The A1 application is needed for travels in all European countries, accurate, and up to date.
The application is completed by the company or employee. Compliance forms are a complex task, not easily undertaken by employees. In Sweden or Denmark, the required tasks takes up to 60 min per application once the employee has understood the requirements correctly.
All employees travelling need to bring the A1 application on business travels. Employees unfamiliar with applicaiton of the A1 process pose a risk to the company, resulting in heavy fines and non compliant status. For example, in Denmark, employees traveling for their employer without an A1 certificate risk loosing their national benefits because the employee cannot prove their social security coverage in Denmark.
Further, the employees can risk loosing their rights for unemployment benefits, child maternity leave etc. if they cannot document social security coverage 12 months back in time.
Although the A1 application form has the same name all over Europe, different European countries have different needs for data and different processes for filing the A1 application.
Relocare Compliance App makes it simple and accurate for both employee and the company by providing automatic filing of an A1 application, and reducing the handling time to seconds.
