Cross-border element: nationals of one EU Member State who leave their country of origin and go to work to another Member State; not persons who have never left their country of origin
Also: migrants who return after having exercised their right to free movement
Worker: person who (i) undertakes genuine and effective work (ii) under the direction of someone else (iii) for which he is paid (Case C-66/85 Lawrie-Blum).

work there without needing a work permit
reside there for that purpose
stay there after employment has finished
enjoy equal treatment with nationals in access to employment, working conditions and all other social and tax advantages
As workers be joined by family members who have derived rights
