International mobility

International companies today are managing a growing population of mobile employees. Beyond the human aspects, this international mobility can raise significant financial issues not only for employers but also for the employees concerned.

The Brexit has shaken up the organisation within the European Union. An employee who previously benefited from social protection or a work and residency permit could face losing these from one day to the next as their legal situation inevitably changes. However, business continues, and legal and tax issues should not disrupt the normal running of a company, particularly when that company must continue to attract talented employees in order to create value.

Dealing with the resulting issues relating to expatriates or seconded employees is not an easy task. Always with a view to optimisation, it is necessary to ensure that employment contracts are well drafted, that the social protection of employees is comprehensive and in accordance with the objectives of each individual, that social security contributions and income tax are paid by the right people in each country concerned, and that reporting obligations are carried out correctly. Companies must stay updated on any legislative developments in the countries in which they operate at risk of incurring significant financial penalties if this is not done.

We can help your company navigate these legislative complexities with an efficient and tailored approach in order to optimise costs and reduce risks.
