Understanding the process
Thanks to the secondment procedure, an employee, who comes to work in Monaco for a specific period on behalf of your company, will remain registered within the Italian social security system.
Companies, craftsperson or subcontractors who are not established in Monaco and wish to carry out work on public or private construction sites must first make a request permission for a worksite with the Business Development Agency.
If the secondment is for more than three months, you should contact the Employment Office to submit the application in paper format.
This online service is not aimed at craftspeople authorised to operate individually, without any seconded employees. You can inform the Employment Office by post, specifying that you are operating individually, and attaching to your letter a copy of the work authorisation issued by the Business Development Agency.
PLEASE NOTE: In accordance with the Italy–Monaco Agreement on Social Security, only Italian nationals may be seconded.
This request may be submitted online. Please click on the following link: How to second an employee to Monaco for less than three months.
