Author: Melissa A. Silver, XpertHR Legal Editor
There are various employment law considerations that a global organization needs to address before assigning an employee abroad. These issues include:
- The type of international assignment;
- The length of the assignment;
- Which organization will remain as the employee's employer (the home employer or the employer in the destination country);
- The terms of the employee's employment when abroad;
- Whether the organization will provide financial support or housing assistance to the employee; and
- The structure of the employee's reward package.
A new Task, has been added to XpertHR to help guide employers when arranging for an employee to work overseas.
