Pay for International Assignments

As organisations increasingly internationalise their business operations, the need for short and/or long term international assignments increases.

Pay arrangements for International Assignees can be extremely confusing. In addition to all the pay considerations of a home country based employee, there are issues of social security, taxes, various allowances (e.g. cost of living adjustments / housing provision) and international pensions as well as a whole range of other policy issues to be addressed and the need to put a range of additional processes in place. By their very nature International assignees often tend to be senior and/or specialist/highly skilled individuals, meaning even more pressure to get things right. Unfortunately both the cost of using international transfers and the rate of failure of such assignments are high.

Having worked with you to fully understand the nature of international assignments required by your organisation, we are well placed to determine the most appropriate pay arrangements to be put in place, including the calculation of pay, recommended method of delivery and associated policies and procedures to be put in place. We can assist you through a one-off review of your existing policies and practices or can take care of some of the administrative needs during the assignment period.
