WorkFlex update: Global mobility compliance like no other

In an increasingly globalized world, managing international work compliance is critical yet complex. Over the past few quarters, WorkFlex has rolled out significant new developments to simplify that complexity, bringing compliance support like no other to global work situations. Whether it’s work-from-anywhere trips, business trips, or cross-border commutes, WorkFlex goes beyond merely assessing compliance risks. Our team actively implements critical measures—submitting PWD notifications, obtaining A1/CoC certificates, and securing travel authorizations and visas—so clients can trust their global workforce is always in compliance, with no hidden fees. Here’s a look at our latest advancements in delivering seamless, efficient compliance solutions worldwide.

 Posted Worker Directive (PWD)‍

• We can submit PWD notifications in all 31 countries, including regional submissions in Switzerland and Spain.
• On average, we submit PWD notifications within 24 hours of receiving the trip request on the WorkFlex platform.
• We have successfully supported three PWD audits conducted by local authorities in Austria and Switzerland.
• Following regulatory and procedural adjustments for PWD compliance in Romania and the Czech Republic, we have updated the WorkFlex platform.
• Sharing necessary information has become easier than ever for travelers, thanks to streamlined data gathering for PWD submissions on the WorkFlex platform.

A1/Certificate of Coverage (CoC)‍

• We can obtain A1/CoC certificates in 24 countries.
• For 60% of all trips, we successfully obtained the A1/CoC within 5 days after the trip request on the WorkFlex platform. No other provider has managed to achieve such a rate so far, as issuing an A1 or a CoC typically takes months. For example, in the United States, it takes 3 months, while in the Netherlands, it takes 2 months.
• We have successfully obtained special A1 certificates for multistate workers, self-employed statutory directors, and employees with private old-age insurance coverage.

Travel Authorizations and Visas

• We have successfully obtained Swiss work visas (Arbeitsbewilligung) for accumulated secondments exceeding 90 days.
• We have also obtained Swiss Sunday-work authorizations.
• In September alone, we requested travel authorizations and visas for Australia, Canada, China, India, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Namibia, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Tunisia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
• Our processing speed has improved significantly; a Chinese express visa was issued within three days of submitting the trip on the WorkFlex platform.
• … and even faster: an Australian travel authorization was issued within five hours of trip submission.
