Finally - permanent home working agreement with France

It’s been a long time coming, but finally Switzerland and France have reached an agreement on how long cross border workers can work from work home in France for a Swiss based company.

Yesterday Bern announced a deal with Paris that it will be possible to work no more 40% of the time from France.

Concretely, it doesn’t change the current situation, but does give certainty – the existing agreement expires next month. 

The deal still needs to be ratified by parliaments in both countries – but will be in place from now until the end of the year to allow time for parliamentary votes – after which it will be permanent.
