Legal status of mobile workers

The international mobility of employees is the result of company policies, and there are many different situations. The legal framework applicable to these migrant workers is complex and fragmented, and is governed by several types of law:

• immigration law ;

• employment law ;

• social protection law ;

• tax law.
