Global Employer Services
Globalisation, the extensive interconnection of markets and the associated cross-border transfer of expertise in the form of international staff secondments are now taken for granted and boost companies’ competitiveness. However, as the cross-border activities of their staff increase, companies are also faced with increasingly complex requirements in the area of payroll. In addition to national tax and social security legislation, companies must also deal with the relevant regulations of the host country. Constant changes in national and international legislation pose enormous cost and liability risks for companies.
From drafting legally compliant secondment contracts, through tax and social security checks, to advising your staff both in their home country and in the host country: we provide comprehensive advice on international staff secondment. In doing so, we clarify all relevant employment and tax law issues and ensure that the secondment is carried out smoothly and cost-effectively.
Our Business Immigration Services also include cross-border support with visa, work permit and residence permit applications, the associated coordination with the relevant authorities, and the preparation of documentation for employers and the authorities. We ensure expedited approval processes, legally compliant residence solutions and the structured integration of international professionals into companies – in a targeted and pragmatic manner.
