Policy and Procedures

Is your company sending employees on assignment abroad on a regular basis? Then you know how difficult it can be to prepare consistent terms and conditions to all employees, perhaps in widely different countries. It can be quite a task to “copy paste” the total package you previously provided to another employee.

Make a policy - to Norway

We recommend having policy documents and written procedures to be able to standardize the process of sending employees abroad. There is no “one size fits all” of course, but with our experience we can make policy and procedures that will work in most cases – and this will save you time and money. For sure.

The policy should answer:

• What allowances should be paid, e.g. mobility allowance, home leave, housing, international medical cover etc.?
• Should cost of living in different countries affect the contract? How do we set reasonable amounts? How do we protect the assignee from adverse currency effects?
• Are we providing insurance that is adequate in the specific host country?
• Who is responsible for reporting to authorities in home and host country?
• Such guidelines should be made to ensure consistency in international assignments.

Effective communication

Have an effective and easy understandable policy for your company. With a clearly written policy, the communication of all relevant issues to the assignees will become much easier.
