International assignment management

“Individually and according to your needs, we will be with you every step of the way, from the first postings of individual employees to the drafting of posting guidelines and the execution of complex posting situations for “multi-state workers”.

When doing so, we cater specifically to your current posting cases in order to offer tailored solutions for the overseas deployment of your employees and to provide you with essential support in all administrative, operative, and strategic aspects of international assignments.

Thanks to our long-standing experience, we recognize compliance risks early on and help you to implement suitable solutions for international assignments with our CONVINUS GLOBAL NETWORK (CGN). Furthermore, you will only need to describe your issues to a single contact person. Our team of experts will then take over the clarification of the relevant tax-related, social security, labor law, and work/residence permit-related issues with specialists both domestically and overseas, and provide you with a balanced and comprehensive solution from a single source.

Working together with you, we will structure the international assignment processes in your company. In addition to an efficient case management, we will also handle the cost structures and process workflows of international assignments. Through our continuous insight into a wide range of companies and industry sectors, we are constantly on the pulse of the times where international assignments management is concerned, and are familiar with the current best practices.

The extensive know-how of our global mobility specialists and experts as well as our worldwide CONVINUS GLOBAL NETWORK (CGN) provide you with optimal support in this regard. Contact us with your questions for international assignments management. We would be glad to provide you with a quote.

EXAMPLE - Creating a policy for business travelers

The population of employees which repeatedly need to work in a particular country for a few days or weeks at time is increasing because (among other things), a percentage of their team is based in that country or due to similar reasons. Apart from tax-related and social security aspects, particularly when dealing with a non-signatory state, as well as cost transfer aspects, work/residence permit-related issues also need to be taken into account.

BEST PRACTICES - A small selection of cases from our day-to-day work:

  • Assisting the HR department with selecting a candidate to be posted to the USA, with aspects ranging from contract design to repatriation.
  • Direct employee contact in the case of challenging tax situations and social security issues for international assignments.
