Maximizing International Talent for the 2024 Olympics in Paris

RMB's essential Guide to Employee Secondment

Understanding Employee Secondment

Employee Secondment, also known as “Posting of Workers” refers to the temporary transfer of an employee by their home company to another country for specific assignments. In the context of the 2024 Olympics, this means sending skilled workers or specialists to fulfill unique requirements, such as the construction of sporting venues or the provision of specific services for this specific event.

The Stage is Set: The 2024 Olympics in France

As France gears up to host the 2024 Olympic Games, the stage is set for a spectacular display of global talent and sportsmanship. This monumental event is not just a celebration of athletic talent but also a massive undertaking in logistics and manpower. The need for a diverse and skilled workforce is vital, from constructing Olympic venues to ensuring seamless operations during this event.

The Demand for Posted Workers

The Olympics are a melting pot of opportunities, requiring a range of professionals from across the globe. The construction of state-of-the-art facilities, the need for particular services, and the management of large-scale event logistics highlight the critical demand for posted workers.

The Necessity of Regulation

Employee Secondment is subject to international and European regulations designed to protect the rights of posted workers and ensure fair competition in the labor market. These regulations set minimum standards for wages, working conditions, and social security for employees to prevent undercutting local labor markets and to ensure fair business practices.

The Importance of Professional Representation

Employee Secondment, especially in the context of an international event like the Olympics, involves navigating a complex web of local and international laws. Professional representation is crucial for ensuring compliance with these regulations. It helps in understanding and following the legal requirements of the host country, including work permits, tax laws, employment regulations, and social security obligations.
