How do I build a compliant international relocation programme?

Updated

Give every case the same plan per country, one owner per step, documents checked before filing, and monitoring after arrival for salary, expiry and job changes. Most compliance failures happen after approval, not before, so the programme has to continue for as long as people hold permits.

In detail

  • One playbook per destination country, kept current with rule changes.
  • Clear owners: HR, the hiring manager, the employee, any adviser.
  • Monthly salary checks against permit terms.
  • An audit trail of what was decided and why.
