Long-term freelancing, or I would call it B2B contract employee, is also the only way to work remotelly for abroad company.
Unfortunatelly EU has no means of cross-border employment yet other than establishing local subsidiary company. It is unlikely to happen if they "employ" a couple of people in various foreign countries. Company setup procedures and employment laws vary by country, salaries may vary by currency. It is just too complex at small scale.
Then the simpler solution is to use intermediary local contractors agency or just directly pay Euro invoices of long term freelancers.
It is legal but e.g. German companies prefer not to keep such contracts longer than 2 years. Why? That is another story...
- Avalaxy 6y agoThere are payrolling companies that take care of all this. They have subsidiaries in every country, will give your remote employees all the things they have a right for according to the local laws, and send you an invoice.
- cbovis 6y agoFor those who might be interested these companies are called Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs). An example would be Velocity Global - https://velocityglobal.com/ https://velocityglobal.com/
- Avalaxy 6y agoAs an extra data point: remote.com does this: https://remote.com/ https://remote.com/ (I'm not affiliated with them, just heard of them)
- tharkun__ 6y agoSame as in Canada I think. In Canada (at least where I am) you basically earn employee status. I think it's the same in Germany ("Scheinselbststaendigkeit"). So you have to basically ping pong between two places or earn enough to just take a prolonged vacation until they can hire you back coz they like your work ;)
