  • How WorkFlex solves this

Commuters live in one country but work in another. This is a common situation in Europe, for instance, where many people live in one country and commute daily to work in another. A notable example is employees who reside in France but work in Switzerland, drawn by economic or personal preferences.

Why efficient commuter management is essential

1. Minimize compliance risks:
Failure to track commuter days accurately can lead to costly penalties, double taxation, and increased social security contributions. Inadequate tracking and reporting may result in time-consuming corrections and legal challenges.

2. Reduce administrative burden:
HR and Global Mobility teams often spend significant time manually tracking commuter days and managing tax agreements, often using spreadsheets. WorkFlex automates these processes, allowing teams to focus on higher-value tasks.

3. Improve employee experience:
Employees are more productive when they’re freed from manual reporting and complex tax filings. WorkFlex helps employees stay focused on their core responsibilities by simplifying compliance tasks.
