Working Abroad: Being Delegated to Germany

For foreigners, working in Germany comes in a broad variety of legal constellations - from being dispatched to the German subsidiary of the employee's mother company to self-employment. Therefore, different employment situations entail different consequences regarding tax, social security, residential status etc.

Many expatriates, who are dispatched to work in Germany have signed ongoing labour contracts with their employer abroad. In general, these contracts follow the national regulations of the home-country.

Furthermore, particular arrangements for employees arising from collective agreements must be considered.

A comprehensive compilation of German labour regulations is available from the International Labour Organization.
