The internationalization of activities is a social and economic challenge which is sensitive for companies and their employees. Even though the European Union offers real opportunities of action for companies, the latter are weakened by hazards related to the economic and political context such as the Brexit or the French-German treaty. Furthermore, regardless of the nature of a geographic mobility, intra-group mobility, secondment or expatriation, when a transfer is initiated by the company and its employees, specific formalities are required in accordance with the applicable legislation and the migration policy of workers.
PREREQUISITES
