Seeking Guidance: How Do You Create Effective Policies for Overseas Employees?

Dear Seniors,

Greetings from Nepal! After a long gap today, I came to this thread again. It has given me great support and hope for the future. At present, I am working in a remittance company. Our employees are working overseas, so I need some policies for them. Could you please provide me with the policy for overseas employees?

It would be highly appreciated as always. Thank you very much.

Welcome back! We appreciate you sharing your query with us. In what role and in which country is your employee working? What are the policies you are looking for regarding expats in that country? Assuming the nature of employment is deputation and the client has a contract with your firm, how has the payment been decided? Did you freeze the salary at your end and let the employee be paid at the client end? Hope you have already accounted for the taxes.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I appreciate your quick response. First of all, let me clarify my query. Our head office is located in Nepal, and we have sent our employees to Qatar and Saudi Arabia as we have remittance partners there. Our partners provide visas for the employees, and the validity period is 4 years. Within that period, an employee can take a 1-month leave with a two-way airfare after completing 2 years. If an employee wishes to return before the completion of the said period, except for emergency cases, we would need to take action against them. (What actions can be taken?)

Secondly, if an employee wishes to resign before the completion of the said period, what actions can be taken? Please suggest.

I am looking to establish a concise and comprehensive policy for overseas employees regarding the matters mentioned above. I would highly appreciate it if you could provide me with a sample policy.

Thank you in advance.
