What Are Employee Accommodations Like?
Accommodations are the places where employees stay while working abroad. They usually provide basic living conditions – a bed, wardrobe, desk, and bathroom. These can be single or shared rooms.
In most cases, the employer covers the accommodation costs, but sometimes the employee is required to find and pay for their own housing. Accommodations can be located in residential buildings, hotels, or hostels, and their standard depends on the country and region where the job is located.
In some Western European countries, such as Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, accommodations are of high standard and equipped with a kitchen and bathroom. In other countries, like the United Kingdom or Ireland, employee accommodations are usually more modest but still provide basic living conditions.
Employees typically receive keys to their room and have access to the kitchen, bathroom, and other shared spaces. In some cases, employees also have access to a washing machine, dryer, and other household appliances.
It is important to carefully review the accommodation conditions and the employer’s obligations in this regard before leaving. It is also essential to ensure that employee accommodations are safe and meet the required hygiene standards.

Work with accommodation – What to pay attention to?
- Housing Conditions – Before deciding to rent a room or apartment, make sure to thoroughly check the standard of the accommodation. Pay attention to the size and furnishings of the room, bathroom, and kitchen. Ensure that the conditions meet your needs.
- Rent – Before deciding to rent a room or apartment, ask about the rental cost and any additional fees, such as utility bills, rent, and internet. Some employers offer free accommodation, while others provide partial or fully paid accommodation.
- Location – Pay attention to where the accommodation is located. Make sure the apartment is near transport stops, stores, and other important points, with easy access to your workplace.

- Safety – Ensure that employee accommodations are safe and do not pose a risk to your health or life. Pay attention to the condition of gas, electrical, and plumbing installations, as well as the condition of doors and windows.
