In brief for employers
A Global Mobility Policy gives companies a framework for international employee mobility. It connects assignments, transfers, business trips, cross-border commuter cases, remote work and international project work in one governance model.
Definition
The Global Mobility Policy defines which international work models are possible, which requirements apply, who decides and which costs, documents and compliance checks are required. It is broader than a pure Remote Work Policy, because it also covers employer-initiated assignments, transfers and longer mobility cases.
Typical checks
- Types of mobility cases and scope
- Roles of HR, Legal, Tax, Payroll and management
- Approval paths and escalations
- Costs, compensation, benefits and non-cash advantages
- Visa, work permit and residence
- Social security, A1 and Certificate of Coverage
- Tax, payroll and permanent establishment risk
- Data protection, insurance and duty of care
Difference from specialist policies
The Global Mobility Policy is the overarching framework. Remote Work Policy, business travel policy and assignment processes are operational specialist rules underneath it. For HR, the key is that the rules do not contradict each other.
