Secondment of employees

In line with the increasing globalisation of industry, more and more companies are considering secondment of employees. Typically a secondment from one enterprise to another takes place within the same international group, but it is not always so. A true secondment is normally one in which the employee remains employed by the seconding enterprise.

Each individual secondment gives rise to extremely complex legal problems, including in respect of tax, social insurance, applicable law, correlation between the secondment agreement and the employment contract with the seconding employer, etc.

Our assistance varies from general memos on Danish employment law matters to advice on specific, complex problems. Where required, our assignments will be carried out in cooperation with Kromann Reumert's company law and tax law groups.
