People in between
Commuters, movers, remote workers abroad, assignments and travellers — the people no single record fits.
Where the Person Actually Is
A workforce record says where somebody is employed. It does not say where they open the laptop, and for a growing share of people those are different countries.
The Cross-Border Commuter
Living in one country and working in another is an ordinary arrangement in many regions, and it is the one population whose paperwork usually exists.
Remote From Another Country
The fastest-growing population in this section, created one approval at a time by managers solving a retention problem, and visible to nobody centrally.
Sent to Work Somewhere Else
Sending somebody to work temporarily in another country triggers its own set of rules in many regions, and the trigger is frequently shorter than people assume.
Long-Term Assignments
Assignments have paperwork, which is why they are usually handled well at the start and badly at every point afterwards.
The Frequent Traveller
Somebody spending a third of the year in other countries has no assignment, no cross-border agreement, and a pattern that several thresholds are expressed in.
Agency and Contract Staff Across Borders
The organisation directs the work and somebody else employs the person, which splits the obligations and means neither party holds the whole picture.
