English · Deutsch – Auslandseinsatz und längere Entsendung
An overseas assignment requires a coordinated review of employment terms, local mandatory rules, immigration, social security and tax. The assignment’s duration and actual pattern of work matter.
What needs checking
The statutory record of essential terms can require additional information for work abroad, with further rules for postings. Do not rely on an old one-month threshold or a short travel-expenses note as a complete assignment framework.
Practical next steps
Agree the location, duties, allowances, return arrangements and early termination. Obtain country-specific advice where necessary and keep the actual arrangement aligned with what was approved.
Prepare for the review
Send the relevant contract or policy, a short chronology, the correspondence and any document showing a deadline. Explain the outcome you need and any steps already taken.
