Crown World Mobility has recently released the latest in its Perspectives series: “World Mobility Perspectives: Who cares about expatriate compensation?". It is available now to download from Crown’s website www.crownww.com.

The Perspectives series shares industry insight with world mobility professionals, showcasing the depth of knowledge Crown has accumulated over the years. The information provided is a beneficial tool to organisations and provides them with the necessary knowledge to make strategic plans.

Crown says that a little-known fact about expatriate compensation is that it involves fact-finding and digging deeper, and is a continual learning experience. Depending upon the number of payrolls, third party payments and accounts payables parties involved, it can be a very complex process.

This paper, written by Eleanor Ungemack, provides background information on expatriate compensation. It asks: why should we care about it? – and what makes it cool?

It also defines the most commonly-used compensation terminology that every global mobility professional should be able to both understand and use. The article ends with top tips for companies in respect of managing, and staying compliant with, expatriate compensation.

"This article gives global mobility professionals a primer for getting their hands around expatriate compensation,” said Eleanor.  “Companies are increasing their focus on tax compliance, managing costs and mitigating risks. Better understanding of what international compensation involves, its complexities, the terminology used and best practices for a compliance-driven approach is a must. This article serves as a good refresher for the experienced global mobility team member, and a base for newcomers."
