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 organisation in the Netherlands the following steps must be undertaken:
1. 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 Dutch authorities.

Sign the document: Ensure that the authorized representative from your organization signs the document. In case you have more than one entity in the Netherlands, 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]
