INSURING EMPLOYMENT ABROAD

Whether an employee posted abroad remains covered by the Finnish earnings-related social security scheme, is affected, among other things, by the following issues:

• Is the country of employment an EU/EEA state, Switzerland or a country with a social security agreement with Finland?
• Is the country of employment a non-agreement country?
• Is the work abroad temporary and does the employee have the status of a so-called posted worker?
• Does the person move abroad to work for a Finnish company, its subsidiary, sister or parent company or is the employer a foreign company?
