Case Study: Global Employment Compliance

A UK-based medical software business recently approached us with an international employment challenge. They had six staff working in four separate countries: Latvia, Greece, Cyprus, and Italy. Despite having migrated, the majority of these personnel were originally hired in the United Kingdom and remained on the company’s payroll there.

The Challenge: Managing International Moves

The former management team permitted these staff to relocate worldwide without fully comprehending the regulatory implications. Keeping these personnel on the UK payroll while they worked in other countries exposed the company to potential legal and tax liabilities that could no longer be disregarded. The organization required a solution that would safeguard both it and its staff.

The Solution: Bringing Employees into Compliance

We worked with the customer to dig into the specifics of their existing position and identify potential dangers. We reviewed the compliance issues that had accumulated over time, as well as the dangers associated with continuing as is. Our team rapidly designed a compliance strategy to convert all six employees to fully compliant employment solutions via Agility EOR. With our assistance, the company was able to avoid the difficulty and expense of establishing legal entities in each of these nations. We alleviated the pressure by ensuring that each employee was engaged in accordance with local rules and regulations in their individual nations.

The Result: A Smooth Transition and a Positive Experience

What made this experience so good was the collaborative approach we adopted throughout the sales and onboarding processes. The customer and their workers enjoyed how we listened, gave clear direction, and collaborated to make the transition as smooth as possible. By the end of the process, all six employees were set up in accordance with the employment laws of their new countries, giving the customer peace of mind that they were safe.
