We have dis­cussed the reform of the Post­ing of Work­ers Dir­ect­ive 2018/957/EU (the “Reform Dir­ect­ive”) sev­er­al times in earli­er Post­ing of Work­ers alerts. This dir­ect­ive was adop­ted by the European Par­lia­ment on 29 May 2018, and is a revi­sion of the exist­ing Post­ing of Work­ers Dir­ect­ive of 1996, rais­ing the mater­i­al pro­tec­tion level for pos­ted work­ers.

The Reform Dir­ect­ive must be trans­posed into nation­al law by nation­al legis­lat­ors ulti­mately by 30 July 2020. The imple­ment­a­tion of the Reform Dir­ect­ive will have major con­sequences for the rules regard­ing transna­tion­al post­ing of employ­ees.

In this Law Alert we provide an update on the pro­gress with regard to imple­ment­a­tion in the respect­ive EU/EEA Mem­ber States.
