Top 10 International Workforce/ Global
Transfer Blunders
1. Dipping your toe: the siren song of the
“independent contractor”
2. The easiest path is not always the
best: “Just keep him on our payroll”
3. International variation of employment
rights: “I Can’t fire him?!”
4. International implementation of
policies: “Is it easier said than done?”
5. Data privacy: “So what?”
6. Outbound from everywhere: “One size
does NOT fit all”
7. It may be logical but it’s not correct:
“Can’t we just increase the compensation by $25k?”
8. Cost management: “What! I didn’t know to
Budget for that!”
9. Common benefit challenges: “What’s
global what’s not?”
10. Tax obligations, you don’t know, what
you don’t know: “The Tax Quagmire”
