Industrial Workforce Deployment

Workforce Compliance for European Industrial Deployments

Posting crews, subcontracting across borders, or staffing an EPC project site? Auxilai's compliance engine resolves the actual instruments — posting notifications, A1 certificates, chain liability, sectoral CBAs — per corridor, grounded in official sources.

Three real deployments, real engine output

Every instrument below comes from a live run of the compliance engine — nothing is illustrative.

Poland → GermanyAction required

Construction crew posted to Munich — 90 days

  • Meldepflicht posting notification (MiLoG §16 + AEntG §18) before work starts
  • SOKA-BAU holiday-fund registration & contributions
  • TV Mindestlohn Baugewerbe — construction minimum wage above the statutory MiLoG floor
  • Auftraggeberhaftung: the German principal is liable down the chain (MiLoG §13 i.V.m. §14 AEntG)
  • ZUS A1 certificate keeps the crew in Polish social security (Reg 883/2004 Art 12, 24-month max)
Romania → BelgiumAction required

Subcontracted crew in Antwerp — 6 months

  • LIMOSA declaration before day one; Checkinatwork registration on site
  • Wage chain liability under the Law of 12 April 1965 — the Belgian client is co-liable
  • JC 124 construction CAO wage scales and premiums apply to the posted crew
  • A1 certificates required; economic-employer test (treaty art. 15(2)) — the 183-day exemption falls away where the Belgian entity bears the cost
United Kingdom → FranceBlocking issues — post-Brexit

EPC site engineer in Lyon — 8 months

  • Work authorisation required: UK nationals no longer hold free movement — engine surfaces Talent-card routes incl. the EU Blue Card
  • HMRC PD A1 (CA3822) must be applied for before posting — TCA SSC.14
  • SIPSI prior declaration + designated representative in France
  • SMIC €12.02/hr (2026) + the noyau dur — 11 mandatory employment conditions
  • Carte BTP for site access; CIBTP paid-leave/weather fund; donneur d'ordre vigilance & joint liability
  • 8 months exceeds 183 days — French taxation engages
Chain Liability & Subcontracting

Chain liability is different in every corridor

The same subcontracting chain triggers a different instrument — or deliberately none — depending on the country. The engine names the one that actually applies.

CorridorInstrumentWhat your client/principal faces
GermanyAuftraggeberhaftung — MiLoG §13 i.V.m. §14 AEntGStatutory liability for minimum wage + joint-fund contributions down the chain
BelgiumLaw of 12 April 1965Wage chain liability — construction direct-relationship scheme + general RD-designated scheme
FranceDonneur d'ordre — L.8222-1 et seq.Vigilance attestations (contracts ≥ €5,000) + joint-and-several liability for wages, contributions, taxes
NetherlandsKetenaansprakelijkheidChain liability for wage payment in construction
IrelandConstruction chain liabilitySubcontractor wage liability in construction
DenmarkNo chain-liability statute — AFU wage fundJointly funded wage-protection scheme; contribution duty per FTE
FinlandNo wage liability — tilaajavastuu + Act 447/2016 §15Verification duties (7 document categories, negligence fee up to €79,380) + construction duty-to-inquire
NorwaySolidaransvarJoint liability under generally-applied (allmenngjort) collective agreements

Sectoral CBAs the engine resolves

Construction: TV Mindestlohn Baugewerbe (DE) · JC 124 (BE) · Bouw-CAO (NL) · CCN Bâtiment (FR) · allmenngjøring (NO) · yleissitovuus generally-binding agreements (FI).

Engineering & EPC: extended CCNs (conventions collectives étendues) apply to posted workers in whichever branch the work falls — the engine surfaces the applicable framework per scenario.

UK ↔ EU

Post-Brexit UK ↔ EU

UK employers posting into the EU face the third-country stack: work authorisation (no free movement), TCA certificates of coverage (HMRC PD A1 via CA3822) before departure, and the full posting machinery (SIPSI, LIMOSA, Meldepflicht) unchanged. The engine treats UK as its own employer class — TCA-specific rules fire automatically.
