FORM A1. REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURE (CERTIFICATE REGARDING THE LEGISLATION ON SOCIAL SECURITY)

Abstract: Regulation (CE) no. 883/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the coordination of social security systems regulates an exception from the general rule according to which „a person who carries out a salary or independent activity in one of the member states, must observe the laws of that state.” Thus, an employee relocated in another member state continues to observe the legislation of his/her state of origin provided that the following two terms are both complied with: a direct relationship between the employer and the employee and the existence of a relationship between the employer and member state where such employer resides. In order to determine the enforceable legislation, the employer shall initiate the procedure for obtaining the A1 portable document – „Certificate regarding the enforceable legislation.”
