Short-term assignments often
pose a lot of challenges for companies - too long to be a
business trip, too short to be a more traditional
assignment. But they are becoming increasingly popular,
providing as they do, the ideal tool for finite projects –
eg commissioning a plant, transfer of knowledge or IT
projects, as well as encouraging mobility.
ECA can also give assistance if you are considering
commuter assignments where an employee returns to their home
country every weekend (or similar regular intervals) but
duties are performed in another country.
ECA's Consultancy
has extensive experience of working
with companies looking to draw up policies
to cover issues
such as remuneration, tax and allowances. We can advise you
on the pros and cons of this type of assignment, and help
you draw up a policy covering:
Allowances - location, disturbance
Number of trips home
Classification of the length of a short-term assignment
Type of accommodation
Class of travel
Salary incentive premiums
Additional leave
Recovery time after flights
Spouse accompaniments
Tax liability
