Global employment compliance is the process of aligning your business's employment practices with the laws of the countries in which you operate. 

It can be a complex and daunting task, as employment laws vary significantly from country to country and even within regions.

Compliance may require implementing new policies and procedures or altering existing ones. It may also require using different HRIS systems or payroll providers across countries.

Despite these challenges, global employment compliance is essential in order to avoid costly penalties and protect the reputation of your organization. 

By partnering with an advisory EOR like Global Expansion, you can navigate the complexities of global employment compliance with confidence.

Avoid costly fines

By staying up to date on employment compliance, you mitigate the risk of employment-related lawsuits and costly fines.

Improve retention rates

Employees who feel like their employer cares about compliance are more likely to feel valued and supported in the workplace. 

In turn, they are more likely to be engaged in their work and less likely to look for opportunities elsewhere.

Global Expansion stays on top of regulatory changes through our globe-spanning network of industry-leading partners in the legal, financial, and HR domains. These local experts keep an ear close to the ground, staying ready for any upcoming regulatory changes well in advance of the rollout.

Being able to offer this type of guidance to our clients is crucial to our "trusted advisor" style of working, and as a result something we devote a lot of resources to maintaining.

The best way to avoid compliance issues and the hefty fines they can incur is to stay up to date with constantly changing labour laws, tax requirements, and other regulations. 

The simplest way to do this is to partner with a Global Employer of Record (EOR).

As a Global EOR, we take full legal responsibility for your employees, which includes: 

• Employment agreements
• Payroll
• Employee benefits
• Taxes and social security
• Any responsibilities toward local institutions, e.g. the Home Office

We give you the peace of mind you need to focus on your business, secure in the knowledge that our expert teams are handling all employee and compliance matters.

The most challenging part of employment laws and regulations is the fact that they’re different for every country and are constantly changing. 

Specific areas that often cause problems and incur fines include:

• Permanent establishment mismanagement
• Breaches of data privacy (GDPR and others) or violation of payroll and other local labor laws
• Issues with (work) visa and immigration requirements
• Employee misclassification

In order to mitigate compliance risks, you need to keep up with regulatory affairs for every single country in which you employ people. Or, you can work with an EOR.
