To be fully compliant during remote work from abroad and business trips, some documents must be issued before the trip starts. Social security certificates and local registrations are key for any trip. To allow the WorkFlex team to apply for A1s, Certificates of Coverage and Posted Worker registrations on behalf of your organization in Spain, the following steps must be undertaken:
Sign and send the Power of Attorney
To allow WorkFlex to apply for A1 certificates and other compliance documents on your behalf, we first require a signed Power of Attorney (PoA) document. This document authorizes us to act on your behalf when interacting with Spanish authorities.
Download the PoA template.
Sign the document: Ensure that the authorized representative from your organization signs the document. In case you have more than one entity in Spain, we will need a signed PoA from each entity.
Send us the signed document: Once signed, please send the PoA to your dedicated Customer Success Manager (CSM) and [email protected]
Note:
We can only request A1/CoCs for business travel, as workations fall outside the scope due to Spanish Social Security regulations.
Unlike CoCs, which can be easily obtained by WorkFlex with the POA, A1 certificates additionally require a RED authorization granted by your Spanish entity to WorkFlex (this is due to 2024 new regulations). This process requires individual steps and may be more complex. Please contact your Customer Success Manager to coordinate the setup for the A1 process.
