The EU’s Posted Worker Portal
The European Commission has proposed a unified digital declaration portal to streamline documentation for companies temporarily sending “posted workers” to other Member States.

Key Features of the EU Posted Worker Portal Proposal:
- Single Digital Form.
- Replaces 27 national forms with one standardized form available in all EU languages.
- Reduces time spent on declarations by 73% with a streamlined process of around 30 data points.
Cost and Burden Reduction:
- Lowers administrative costs for businesses and aligns with the EU’s goal of reducing reporting burdens by 25% while maintaining strong worker protections.
- Improved Compliance and Transparency:
- Facilitates enforcement of fair mobility rules and worker rights.
- Enables Member States to share declaration copies with workers for increased transparency.
Enhanced Cooperation:
- Integrated into the existing Internal Market Information System (IMI).
- Builds on technical solutions used since 2022 for road transport worker declarations.
- Benefits for Businesses and Workers.
