Employment
Smart offers
Employment contract or executive status, remuneration and benefits, social security, tax, immigration: all of these factors need to be considered in any international mobility project (repatriation, expatriation, secondment).
Our tax and labour teams, along with our foreign offices, assist you in the review of the contractual situation, searching for optimisation solutions and proceeding with the mobility (from the employee’s or executive’s departure until their return).
