Question 4

How does cross-border posted-worker staffing work?

Accepted Answer

Under the EU Posted Workers Directive, Stafflab employs staff in Poland and Latvia, then posts them to client sites across Europe. We handle the full compliance package: A1 certificate of coverage, host-country minimum wage compliance, WagwEU (Netherlands), LIMOSA (Belgium), and social-security notifications. Clients receive a simple all-in hourly invoice with VAT reverse charge (no local VAT).

Question 5

Is VAT reverse-charged on Stafflab's cross-border staffing invoices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because Stafflab invoices from Poland (EU VAT payer PL9731095066) to registered businesses in other EU member states, the VAT reverse-charge mechanism applies. Clients do not pay Polish or local VAT on the invoice — they self-account in their own country. This applies to Belgium (autoliquidation), Netherlands (BTW verlegd), Luxembourg (autoliquidation TVA) and all other EU markets.

Question 6

What is the minimum contract duration with Stafflab?

Accepted Answer

Our standard minimum contract duration is 3 months. This ensures sufficient time for the posted worker to integrate into your team and for us to maintain compliance with EU posted-worker registration requirements. Longer-term placements and permanent transitions are also possible — contact us to discuss.

Question 7

How quickly can Stafflab provide staff?

Accepted Answer

Typical lead time is 1–3 weeks from enquiry to the first working day. This includes candidate matching, A1 certificate issuance, and host-country notification (WagwEU / LIMOSA). For urgent needs, contact info@stafflab.eu directly.
