      Why France Has the Highest Employer Costs in the EU?

      Why France Has the Highest Employer Costs in the EU?

      A CFO signs off on a French hire at €70,000 using the same multiplier the company used in Germany around 1.22 on gross, so budget €85,000 and move on. The first quarter's payroll comes in closer to €100,000 annualised, and nobody can find t...

      Which EU Countries Will Be Ready for the Platform Work Directive?

      Which EU Countries Will Be Ready for the Platform Work Directive?

      A compliance lead opens the transposition tracker in August, sees "0 of 27 member states have a law in force," and closes the tab feeling considerably better about Q4. That is the wrong read, and it is the most common one. Because sitting i...

      98 Days to December 2: What Platform Work Regulation Ready Actually Looks Like

      A general counsel finishes the legal review in June, hands it to the operations lead, and asks how long the changes will take. The answer comes back in September: the account suspension work is a two-quarter build. That is the shape of this...

      France CSE Thresholds & Platform Work Rules: What Employers Need to Know

      France CSE Thresholds & Platform Work Rules: What Employers Need to Know

      A finance lead in Paris pulls up the payroll report to prove there are only nine people. The report is correct. The answer is wrong. Because France does not count employees the way your payroll does. Part-timers count as fractions. Fixed-te...

      Platform Account Suspensions in the EU: Why a Human Now Has to Make the Call

      Platform Account Suspensions in the EU: Why a Human Now Has to Make the Call

      Somewhere in Europe tonight, someone will open an app and find their Platform account gone. A rating slipped under a threshold, or a cancellation rate crossed a line, and a rule fired. There is no name on the decision, because no person mad...

      The Compliance Structure Every Staffing Platform Needs by 2026

      Belgium does not start by asking whether a worker is an employee or a contractor. It starts by asking who is giving the instructions. That question sits underneath a rule most foreign companies discover too late. In Belgium, lending your em...

      Before You Say Yes to a Dutch Offer: The Address Problem Nobody Mentions

      Most people preparing for a move to the Netherlands focus on the visa. Salary threshold, employer sponsorship, permit approval get through that and the hard part is over. It isn't. The visa is the part your employer handles. The part you ha...

      EOR vs Entity in Germany: Why the Math Is Different Here?

      EOR vs Entity in Germany: Why the Math Is Different Here?

      Most companies model this decision in euros. Setup cost, monthly fee, headcount, break-even point. Run that model for Germany and you'll get a surprise: setting up a German company is cheaper than the European average, not more expensive. T...

      Why Is Employing People in Germany Getting Harder in 2026?

      Most foreign companies treat German hiring as a paperwork problem. Get the contract right, register with the right offices, run payroll properly, done. That was mostly true until this year. The rules themselves haven't been rewritten. What...

      Europe Employment Compliance in 2026: Mid-Year HR Update

      Most compliance calendars for 2026 were built in December. By July, a good portion of what was on them is wrong. Not because the rules softened. Because three of the biggest items moved in three different directions one deadline passed and...
