The Posting of Workers programme, part of the European Social Fund+, aimed to enhance fair working conditions across Europe. It supported initiatives to improve the implementation and application of directives related to posting of workers, fostering better administrative cooperation and access to vital information for workers, companies, and administrations involved in cross-border services.

Who is Funded

The Posting of Workers programme sought to fund a diverse range of entities, including public authorities, various stakeholders, educational and research institutions, and businesses, within EU Member States, EEA countries, and candidate countries. The overarching goal was to promote fair working conditions and enhance administrative cooperation concerning posted workers.

What is Funded

This programme focused on supporting initiatives that enhance fair working conditions and administrative cooperation related to posting of workers, rather than specific industrial sectors. Funded activities included cooperation, information dissemination, and evidence generation, primarily at the policy development and implementation stages.

The Posting of Workers programme provided financial support in the form of grants, with a total budget of 2,400,000 € allocated for 2021. Specific financial limits per project or funding rates were not detailed in the available information.

Conditions and Requirements

Applicants for the Posting of Workers programme were subject to specific conditions concerning application submission, consortium formation, and adherence to various regulations. Proposals needed to be comprehensive, adhere to page limits, and focus on one of the three designated strands of activity to ensure correct implementation and maximum impact.

Application Procedure

The application process for the Posting of Workers programme involved electronic submission through the dedicated portal. Proposals were evaluated based on their relevance, quality of design and implementation, project team composition, and expected impact.

The Posting of Workers programme is rooted in a robust legal framework derived from key European directives on posted workers and broader social security regulations. Official texts and guidelines related to the programme were made available through the European Commission's Funding & Tenders Portal.
