What the EU Referendum result means for HR...

In employment terms, one key element that has hardly been covered concerns social securtiy reciprocal agreements. A person contributing to the social security system in one EU can benefit from coverage in other countries in the case of international mobility. For example, under this reciprocal system my 10 years of paying into the UK social security system gives me a certain amount of credit for a french state pension. Similarly, access to the medical system of EU coutries is available for people who contribute to the social security system of another country - reducing (but not removing) the need for medical insurance when traveling in Europe.
Stepping outside of the EU will require the negotiation and implementation of bilateral social security treaties with each EU state - or (more likely) a grouped one such as the treaty between Switzerland and all EU states.

Some of these reciprocal arrangements existed before the EU - Eire is just one example.
