Business trip from Poland to the United States
Sending employer: MaViAl Sp. z o.o., Poland. A Polish business-trip order regulates the assignment and settlement between the employee and MaViAl, but it does not itself authorize productive employment in the United States.
- Work may begin only after the required U.S. employer, petition, visa, admission, or other employment-authorization procedure is completed for the individual case.
- A visitor visa or visa-free entry must not be treated as permission to perform ordinary pipefitting work.
- Where the Polish-U.S. social-security agreement assigns continued coverage to Poland, MaViAl requests Form PL/USA 1 from ZUS.
- PL/USA 1 concerns social-security coverage only. It is not a visa, immigration status, or U.S. work permit.
- Where MaViAl's documents or internal travel rules do not establish different terms, the statutory benchmark for the United States is a USD 59 daily allowance and a USD 200 hotel limit per night outside New York and Washington.
- The written assignment must confirm travel, accommodation, insurance, allowances, taxes, pay, working time, project location, and return arrangements before departure.
