Is your employee working from another country — and is that arrangement actually documented?

Cross-border telework got a new EU framework in 2026, but it does not apply automatically. The 25% rule still matters, Latvia and Lithuania are not signed up, and an A1 certificate is still required.

Here is what employers need to document in the contract addendum:

Spring hiring season is here, and if you're an HR lead looking at 8 new people joining in the next few weeks, you know what that means:

📄 40+ documents to prepare
📝 Employment contracts to customize
✍️ Six different forms per person
😰 The constant worry you copied the wrong salary or start date

Here's the thing: this is exactly the part of onboarding that's easiest to automate.

Not with some massive IT project. Just six reusable templates and a simple spreadsheet.

One row per new hire → Six documents per person, ready to sign in minutes.

Plus, with the EU Pay Transparency Directive kicking in June 2026, having consistent, auditable salary data in your contracts isn't just nice to have anymore—it's required.

We put together a practical guide on how to set this up (and why 2026 is the year to do it):

If you're drowning in onboarding paperwork right now, this might be your lifeline.

Still preparing contracts by editing old Word files and hoping nothing important got left behind?

You don't need enterprise software to fix that. Start with a template portfolio - standardize the 5-10 contracts your team uses most, and put them in one workflow for creating, sending, and signing.
