Workation & Remote Work Abroad

Starting in February 2026, **International HR Services AG (IHRS) **will launch a series of online training courses in collaboration with **Vamoz AG **on the legal challenges of workations and remote work abroad.

Background: Although on-site work is increasing again in Swiss companies and working from home is declining, employers are increasingly advertising alternative forms of remote work such as workations or the possibility of remote work abroad.

These forms are gaining in importance and are considered an attractive employer benefit in the context of the shortage of skilled workers. At the same time, they are associated with a high degree of legal complexity, which poses various challenges for HR and managers.

**Content: **The following areas of law are particularly affected:

• Immigration & Residence: Immigration and residence law, permits & visas
• Taxes: Applicable double taxation treaty (DTT) including relevant articles, permanent establishment risk & income tax liability or exemption
• Social security: Applicable social security agreement, need for A1 / CoC & continuation of coverage
• Data protection: Applicable law for data processing abroad, employer responsibility & data security
• Labor law: Territoriality principle, applicable law & place of jurisdiction

Scope: 5 sessions in the form of online training courses, each covering a specific area of law.

Dates:

• Tuesday, February 3, 2026: Immigration & Residence
• Tuesday, March 3, 2026: Taxes
