After the agreement in July 2020 with Belgium, Germany and France to maintain the exceptional provision not to take into account the teleworking days linked to the COVID-19 crisis for the determination of the applicable social security legislation frontier workers, Luxembourg and its three neighboring countries have agreed to extend this exemption until December 31, 2020.

Concretely, this means that a frontier worker who carries out his work from his home, continues to be affiliated to the Luxembourg social security system and this until the end of 2020.

Indeed, the work from the home of frontier workers can have consequences on their social security affiliation under the provisions of European legislation on the coordination of the social security systems of the Member States. Romain Schneider, Minister of Social Security, had thus, from the start of the crisis, contacted his Belgian, German and French counterparts to find an agreement in order to avoid a change of affiliation in the event of the threshold of 25% being exceeded. in European legislation for the workers and employers concerned.
