INTEGRATED SERVICES
A special framework agreement has been drawn up for employees who perform cross-border telework. The agreement has been signed by several Member States, including the Netherlands. Employees who telework and meet the conditions of the agreement will be allowed to telework from their country of residence for up to 50% of their total working hours without becoming insured in their country of residence.
Please note that the definition of teleworking is restrictive and working in other third countries may also lead that the 50% threshold will not be applicable but in such case the 25% threshold will be applicable. We refer to the attachment.
In the attachment (in Dutch) the Dutch Social Security Agency provides there reply on various cases.
