A "posted” worker is someone who is employed in one EU Member State and sent by his/her employer on a temporary basis to carry out work in another Member State.

As the Posting of Workers Directive requires EU countries to cooperate and share information, national liaison offices and authorities have been set up in each country. They monitor the terms and conditions of employment and are contact points for authorities from other Member States, companies that post workers and posted workers themselves. Find national contact points in each Member State, under the heading 'Work & Retirement' here.
