By mitigating non-compliance risks in advance, legal and regulatory compliance can help your business operations run uninterrupted. This means greater efficiency and sustained output.

Compliant labor law contracts
We provide you and your team with employment contracts that check all the legal compliance boxes. To make your international employment process easier, we ensure that all contracts meet the requirements and standards of labor law wherever your talent is based. This can include the right benefits, statutory leave, overtime regulation, working hours, salaries, amongst many other particulars.
Benefits
Providing proper benefits that meet local employment law standards is essential as a global employer. Countries determine what kinds of leave employees can take, as well as their social security, healthcare and pension entitlements. We’ll assist you to build benefits packages for your global talent that are attractive and meet local requirements.
Termination
Terminating an employee can be a difficult process for both you and the employee. Our team can help you make sure you’re doing everything correctly, according to local employment law. This includes checking things like whether your grounds for termination are compliant, if severance payment is due, and how to communicate the termination to your worker. We’ll help ease the process and ensure you don’t make yourself liable to non-compliance charges.
Onboarding
While onboarding is generally an HR process, you’ll still need to tick a couple of boxes to ensure you are onboarding your new hires compliantly. This’ll include things like checking where your talent are based, whether they have the right to work, review of ad-hoc employment contract requests and providing any mandatory home office equipment in line with workplace health and safety responsibilities. We’ll help you ensure you’re onboarding your new talent compliantly wherever they are based.
Local presence
Our in-house team of HR experts work with local employment and legal partners to ensure your team is fully aware of current and changing regulations wherever your global team members are based. With our partners we offer thorough guidance and help you plan in advance of any changes to local labor laws. We have local entities where we operate across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, North and South America, and the Pacific. No matter how complex the issue, we’re equipped to help you hire and manage talent compliantly wherever you choose.
Data security, privacy, and compliance
We place the utmost value in protecting our clients’ data. We store all our clients and employees’ data on our secure onboarding and HR platform, HR Blizz. We apply the principles of GDPR to everything we do and everything we build, as well as encrypting and anonymising all data as per our industry standards. We also conduct regular penetration tests to ensure our system cannot be breached. You can access your data via the HR Blizz platform at any time, from anywhere.
International requirements
When hiring a global team, regulatory compliance also means employing in compliance with labor laws internationally. We offer support in managing the complexities of international employment including:
- Supplementary pay and discretionary bonuses
