Be careful about making agreements with new employees regarding working abroad
In employment situations, we must be careful about making agreements with the new employee that he or she can work from abroad. These arrangements are difficult legally and time-consuming to establish and to manage afterwards for the HR department.
When an employee works from abroad, the HR department have to handle a number of extra tasks regarding taxation, social security, insurance, travel and subsistence expenses, work visits to Denmark, etc.
We will encourage managers and supervisors to seek advice from their immediate manager or the secretariat if they find themselves in a situation where they are considering making arrangements with a new employee about working from abroad.
