Legal matters
Posting and legal basis for subcontractors from Poland
Since joining the EU in 2004, Poland has been the favoured country for skilled craftsmen and industrial specialists in Germany.
EU freedom of movement since 2004
As an EU member since 2004, Polish skilled workers can work in Germany without a work permit - the free movement of labour applies without restriction. Poland is by far the most important country of origin for foreign subcontractors on the German market.
AEntG & minimum wage
The Posted Workers Act (AEntG) and the industry-specific minimum wages apply to secondment in a contract for work and labour. The German minimum wage applies to all hours worked in Germany. Global Business Recruiting ensures full compliance.
Required documents
The following documents are required for legally compliant use:
Trade licence / proof of self-employment
Membership certificate from the IHK or HWK
Public liability insurance
Clearance certificates
Tax registration with the tax office
Exemption certificate (§ 48b EStG)
Business registration from the home country

Differentiation from AÜG
Polish subcontractors work under their own professional supervision within the framework of contracts for work and labour - the client has no right to issue instructions. In the main construction industry, the traditional hiring out of labour is traditionally prohibited - the contract for work and services is the legally secure form of contract. Global Business Recruiting drafts all contracts accordingly.
