Insure employees working temporarily abroad under statutory accident insurance

Service Description

Statutory accident insurance offers companies the option of continuing to insure employees even if they are working abroad temporarily.

Employees must work abroad for the same company that employs them in Germany. In addition, the duration of the work abroad must be contractually limited from the outset.

Your company must submit an application for this. Insurance cover begins on the day the application is received by the employers' liability insurance association or federal and railroad accident insurance.

This application is not necessary if insurance cover already exists under other statutory regulations. These include, for example

  • Cases where the so-called emanation regulation of the German Social Code applies
  • regulations under European law
  • Social insurance agreements between 2 or more countries
