Cross border workers exemption extended - for last time

The agreement between France and Switzerland which allows cross border workers to work from their French homes without paying social security charges will be extended, again, until the end of the year.

But French authorities are making it very clear that it will be the last time.  

What it means is that cross border workers can still telecommute until the end of December, but if they want to continue after that date, the Swiss company will have to pay the social charges, but that in itself is illegal under Swiss law. 

The exception was brought in during lockdown to allow staff to continue working while not going into the office. It’s already been extended several times.
