Reply To: Remote Working- Work from Anywhere (overseas) Guidelines

[MarieModerator]

Hi, Karoline.

Based on my previous experience in a consumer goods company, the Work from Abroad (WFA) program that was requested by the employee was permitted based on these:
– Period: 4 weeks or less in a tax year per country
– Role: The role is suitable for remote working
– Line Manager approves
– The employee has work authorization in the country (eg citizen or has visa that allows them to work).

If the work is more than four weeks, the company announced this as an exceptional circumstance. This will involve local and global tax, legal and HR teams and may require 3rd party advice. This is where the mobility team will be involved and there will be resources and costs on the services of the 3rd party.

Hope this helps Karoline!
