Most UK companies don't get Luxembourg hiring wrong because of tax.

They get it wrong because they assume their holding structure answers their hiring questions.

It doesn't.

Once you hire in Luxembourg, employment law, wage indexation, and cross-border rules all come into play.

Understanding the difference can save costly mistakes later.

Hiring in Luxembourg? Don't assume it works like the rest of Europe.

Cross-border workers, automatic wage indexation, staff delegation rules, employer contribution rates, and even sick leave work differently here.

Understanding these details before your first hire can save time, cost, and compliance headaches later.

Swipe through for five things every employer should know before hiring in Luxembourg.

Remote work didn't reduce costs. It just moved them.

Office rent went down.

Cross-border compliance went up.

Most companies notice the trade around month 18 - right when the original business case stops adding up.

The biggest risk in EU expansion isn't regulation.

It's assuming it works the same way everywhere.

30% tax relief in the Netherlands. None in Germany. Severance that accrues from day one in Italy.

None of it required in Germany.

Every market has its own rules. The risk isn't not knowing them, it's assuming last country's playbook still applies.

Some of the most valuable conversations about hiring in Europe never happen on stage.

They happen in meetings. On calls.

And after companies have already run into a challenge.

That's exactly why we started The EU Compliance Desk.

Hosted by Mirza and Varun, this podcast is built around real conversations on hiring, payroll, employment law, and compliance across Europe.

No buzzwords.

No complicated legal jargon.

Just practical insights from the challenges companies face every day when expanding internationally.

If you're a founder, HR leader, or part of an expansion team, this podcast is for you.

5 countries. 5 different employment laws.

1 team that should still feel like 1 team.

3 principles that keep a multi-country EU team from becoming 5 separate HR nightmares:

→ Centralise employment risk → Localise only what must be local → Build for the exception, not the average case

The EOR vs. entity crossover point isn't the same everywhere.

In Italy: TFR liability, standing CCNL compliance costs, and longer termination processes all push that crossover point later than the "10–15 employees" rule of thumb that works in the Netherlands or Germany.

Hiring in Italy?
There's a 6.91% cost most foreign employers don't budget for.

It's not a termination cost. It's a liability that accrues from the first payroll run whether your model accounts for it or not.

Add in CCNL collective agreements that apply automatically by sector, and Italy's employment cost structure looks nothing like the rest of the "EU average."

Full breakdown Coming Soon.

Hiring in Germany? The biggest challenge isn't finding talent.

No 30% ruling. Six weeks of full-salary sick pay, no offset. Works councils from five employees. Strong dismissal protection, but no automatic severance.

None of this is a reason to avoid the market. It's the reason to plan for it properly.

The question I get most from founders expanding to Europe isn't about hiring costs or visa timelines.

It's about control.

"If someone else is technically my employee's employer — what do I give up?"

The answer: the legal employment layer. Not the work.

You still set the direction. You still manage performance. You still decide what gets built.

The employment contract was never what put you in charge.
