Moreover, it has become a practice for many European companies to hire workers from new Member States and send them abroad as posted workers for a period that can be extended up to 24 months, thus taking advantage of the differences existing as to the payment of contributions to social insurance.
Det er endvidere blevet praksis for mange europæiske virksomheder at ansætte arbejdere fra nye medlemsstater og sende dem til udlandet som udstationerede arbejdstagere i en periode, som kan forlænges i op til 24 måneder og derved drage fordel af de eksisterende forskelle i betaling af bidrag til socialsikring.
