FAQ
When is a posting declaration to Luxembourg required?
Whenever a company established outside Luxembourg temporarily sends workers to carry out paid activities in Luxembourg, a prior declaration must be submitted through the eDetach system, regardless of the posting duration.
How long does the posting procedure take?
If all documentation is ready, the declaration process can be completed in just a few days. We recommend starting the procedure at least one week before the posting begins to avoid any issues.
What documents must be available during the posting?
Throughout the duration of the activity in Luxembourg, the following documents must be available (in physical or digital format):
-
Employment contract
-
Payslips
-
Proof of social security registration
-
Record of hours worked
-
Proof of accommodation (in some cases)
-
What happens if I fail to declare the posting or provide incomplete documentation?
Failure to meet the requirements may result in administrative fines, interruption of the activity, or even prohibition from operating in Luxembourg. The ITM may conduct on-site inspections at any time.
Do I need to have a registered company in Luxembourg to post workers?
No. You can operate in Luxembourg without having a local entity, as long as you comply with the rules for transnational postings. In this case, you must appoint a local representative—a role we can take on for you.
