What does the social security coordination mean?

Each country is free to decide who is insured under its laws, what rights arise from insurance and under what conditions. The European Union defines common rules, under which the social rights of workers are protected (in EU and EEA Member States, and in Switzerland). To that end, the following principles are upheld: the application of the laws of one country, equal treatment (non-discrimination), the consideration of previous periods of insurance and the transferability of rights (i.e. the exportability of a cash benefit) and the calculation of benefits.

What are job fairs and how do I register?

EU Member States organise various recruitment events (job fairs, job days...) where you as an employer come into direct contact with job seekers. If you would like to attend a job fair, contact your nearest EURES advisor, who will provide you information about the fair or visit The European Job Days web-site where you can participate free of charge on the online job fairs. The costs of visits to onsite fairs abroad are borne by the employer/job seeker. A EURES advisor can represent you at a fair (online or onsite) by prior agreement. A list of job fairs and various EURES events can be found on the European Job Mobility Portal.

Do I have to pay for EURES services?

No. EURES services are free of charge.

How does the recognition and assessment of education proceed when employing workers from other EU/EEA Member States and Switzerland?

When employing a foreign worker, be aware of your country's conditions for recognising the qualifications of the worker you intend to employ.

You may contact the network of ENIC/ NARIC (European Network of Information Centres) / (National Academic Recognition Information Centres) regarding the recognition and assessment of qualifications received in another Member State.

What is EURES?

EURES is the abbreviation for "EURopean Employment Services", a network of public European employment services and their national partners. EURES functions in the Member States of the EU and the European Economic Area (Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein) and in Switzerland.

As of 1/02/2020 the United Kingdom is no longer a member of the European Union. However, by virtue of the withdrawal agreement between the EU and the United Kingdom, freedom of movement of workers between the United Kingdom and the Member States, including the delivery of EURES services, continues to exist during a transition period which currently goes to 31/12/2020.

The aim of the EURES network is to support the free movement of workers and promote international worker mobility in member states.
