International Employee Benefits Services
When dealing with employees abroad, you as the employer must have an understanding of what is legally required in terms of sick pay, bereavement leave, data protection, taxable benefits and more. The right combination of corporate rewards will allow your business to attract and retain the best candidates overseas, motivating them to achieve more and stay loyal to your workforce.
How will you know the compensation and benefits expectations of your foreign team members, or what is mandatory in each country? Moreover, you must balance your global employee benefits with those provided to employees in your parent business. There is a lot to consider.
At IRIS Global Workforce Management, we’re on hand to manage your international employee compensation and benefits plan from strategy to execution, negating the need to seek expensive legal advice. Our global experts have an in-depth understanding of the regional entitlements and market expectations. This ensures that your business remains competitive in the market and attractive to top local talent.

International employee benefits
Many global businesses aim to enhance their employees’ personal lives by offering an enticing employee benefits program that surpasses the minimum legal standards.
In the US, a restricted social security system means these benefits are mostly provided at the choice and cost of an employer. Abroad, the situation is very different. Different governments have different demands from business owners, perhaps setting strict requirements for taxable and non-taxable benefits, sick pay entitlement and bereavement leave entitlement.
We offer
- Vetted benchmarking against local benefits schemes
- Planning and implementation managed
Benefits can include
- Private medical insurance
- Life insurance
- Disability insurance
- Enhanced annual leave entitlement
- Mobile phone allowances
- Car schemes
- Professional education and work training opportunities
-

Our schemes include
- Choose and build a tailored employee incentive program
- Benchmark your global company competitively
- Attract and retain talent through reward schemes
