BEST PRACTICE Global Mobility: The Interaction of assignment guideline and assignment contract NORMA REYNOV, CONVINUS Chapter 1: Why assignment guidelines are worthwhile even with few international assignments: Transparency, fairness and efficiency through clear rules. Companies that only send employees abroad sporadically need to consider when it becomes reasonable and necessary to develop an assignment guideline. However, many companies with limited foreign activities shy away from the effort of developing an assignment guideline (also called expat policy) and prefer to regulate each foreign assignment individually or look for a simple template that can be applied directly to their specific needs. Nevertheless, companies should create suitable regulations as early as possible for the following reasons. The assignment guideline should also be regularly reviewed and adapted to the company's changing requirements. 1. Establish transparency in assignment conditions and minimize time-consuming individual decisions Assigned employees are often well connected within the company and actively share their experiences and conditions during assignments abroad. Even if the exact remuneration details are often not discussed in detail, it quickly becomes apparent which allowances and visible benefits are granted to colleagues. If, for example, one person is reimbursed for housing costs in an attractive residential area while another only receives a small housing allowance, this can lead to dissatisfaction and a negative mood among those affected. In addition, there is a tendency to renegotiate assignment packages, which can lead to additional costs and budget shortfalls for the company. Am assignment policy that is accessible to all employees not only creates transparency, but also increases fairness by reducing extensive individual decisions and openly explaining the applicable conditions to all assignees. 5 convinus.com
