Employers who send an employee to work in another EU member state can assure the seconded worker will maintain the social security arrangement prevailing in the country of origin. This protection is afforded as long as i) the employment in the country of destination is performed on behalf of the employer which normally employs that worker; ii) the expected duration of this activity is less than 24 months; iii) the worker is not sent to take over for a worker who has reached the maximum 24-month term.
