Practical Considerations
International Leave: What to Know Before You Go.
Managing Penn’s international personnel needs is complex and requires careful consideration of Penn policies, U.S. law, and the local labor and tax regulations in the foreign country. GSS is available to assist you in meeting your personnel needs, whether it be to facilitate business travel or global leave, engage a worker located outside the U.S., or manage payments to individuals overseas.
Global personnel management and operations are complex due to meeting both U.S. and foreign country labor and tax regulations. Before engaging in any international personnel activities on behalf of Penn, consider the following:
|
What type of activity do you wish to engage in? |
|
Which countries will the activity take place in? |
|
What is Penn's status in that foreign country? |
Penn departments/centers (Programs) should consider the employment laws of the host country and the planned activities of the staff. In addition, they should try to anticipate how staffing needs may change in subsequent years after the program is established. Reach out to GSS early in your planning and budgeting process to help find the best route for you.
