International Compensation & Assignment Management

We live and work in a global marketplace and your company most likely has operations or at least some business opportunities around the world. As a result, you may request employees to move from one country to another on an extended assignment. In general terms and depending on the length of stay, we refer to these international assignees as expatriates (US employees leaving the country) or inpatriates (non-US employees entering the US).

In spite of the fact that the world has become one global marketplace, inter-country moves are potentially complex for most companies. The main challenge facing you may be to determine the most appropriate approach given economic environments and constraints, interfacing with affiliated companies and customers, and designing cost saving strategies.

The Human Resource Department (THRD) has both Expatriate and Inpatriate expertise at its fingertips. We can provide complete administration of all aspects of an international assignment. THRD strives to provide timely, cost effective, single point of contact service to international employees in the areas of human resources, income taxes, payroll, benefits and general administrative support. This allows your company to assist its managers in planning, costing, and managing assignments effectively.

The scope of our services is listed below. You may choose THRD to outsource all expatriate services or choose from our menu listed below:
