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.
