guiding you through the maze

international hr matters

Your employees live in another country and may have to commute in order to perform their work. Cases like these throw up specific questions for your HR department, for example regarding social insurance and tax for the employees in question. In the current situation in particular, where the pandemic is driving digitalisation forward and employees are increasingly working from home for longer periods of time, these questions are more pertinent than ever. In certain circumstances, structures have to be modified and your employees prepared for changes. Or perhaps staff relocations are upcoming, which require particular competencies and time resources from your HR department.

Developing and introducing a trainee programme, international assignments and the checking of international relocation procedures can also be part of these tasks. Managing international contracts and moves raises numerous questions both for you as an employer and for your employees and their families. In most cases the support required extends far beyond the employment contract. Country specific requirements result in a long to-do list, which is time-intensive to work through.

At Belana GmbH, we can provide these services for you in an efficient and flexible manner thanks to the experience gained from our own relocations, our many years of expertise and our network.

Here are some examples of the support we can offer you:

  • Drafting HR solutions based on changed requirements during the pandemic, for example, with regard to the social insurance and tax of your employees
  • Drafting contracts for foreign employees being employed locally on a short-term basis or as an expat
  • Setting up an international trainee programme that is sound both in content and from a legal perspective
  • Step-by-step introduction to what needs to be done and when before hiring or relocating employees
  • Analysis of country-specific requirements or contracts and their compensation systems for employees
  • Net income calculations for employees
  • Counselling on cross-cultural awareness

 

At Belana GmbH, we look forward to getting to know you and are available to you and your employees as a professional partner at any time. Let us guide you through the HR maze.
