We have a number of homeworkers in the UK, and they are each required to have a home visit by the H&S manager (me!) annually. I write a report for both H&S and insurance purposes, and the staff must let us know if anything changes between visits.
We now have a staff member who has moved to France with her husband, but continues to work for us as a homeworker due to the ease of digital communications. Can I please ask if our H&S responsibilities are the same as in the UK (she is on a UK-based employment contract)? I'm not sure if local French H&S rules would apply, or do we apply the same UK standards?
Thanks
Philip

Hello Philip
You will need to apply the same rules to the employee in France. However, it is not necessary to visit in person, as long as you provide the support and proper training so that they can do the assessment themselves.
I hope this is helpful.
Kind regards

You (as in the company) may well have a tax / reporting liability in France, however.
I suggest you speak to your accountant if you have one.
