Your company is offering talent exchange programs, global transfers, cross-border secondments, or any other form of temporary assignments

If you’re involved in talent exchange programs, opening up new entities with temporary staff relocations, or coordinating inter-company transfers and project-based assignments across borders, you already know how complex and time-consuming it can be.

Each expatriate assignment involves over 50 administrative and compliance tasks—from cost projections and balance sheets to assignment letters, visas, A1 certificates, and more—that continue long after the employee starts their assignment, draining your team’s time and resources.


Introducing WorkFlex Assignment Compliance Tool: End-to-End Automation in one platform

After months of successful beta testing with selected clients, we're excited to introduce the new WorkFlex Assignment Compliance Module on the platform. What began as a simple request for more efficient assignment management has evolved into a powerful tool that turns your weeks of administrative work into minutes of streamlined efficiency.

Whether you're managing traditional expatriate assignments, project assignments, or other temporary transfers, WorkFlex offers a comprehensive solution that allows you to outsource all assignment-related tasks to one platform.

Key benefits of using WorkFlex for assignment management

  1. Quickly get clarity on how to set up compliant assignments

    No more waiting for weeks for assignment evaluations. WorkFlex generates compliance assessments, cost projections, balance sheets, and HR to-do lists tailored to your assignment needs. This clarity empowers your team to make informed decisions from day one, reducing approval cycles by up to 70%.

  2. Save 12+ hours per assignment on administrative tasks

    Managing assignment paperwork can be overwhelming. WorkFlex automates all compliance documentation—ranging from assignment letters to A1 certificates, PWD notifications, entry visas and more. This reduces administrative time by up to 85%, so your team can focus on high-impact tasks.

  3. One solution for all global mobility needs

    Say goodbye to juggling between multiple systems. With WorkFlex, you can manage all aspects of expatriate compliance—including business trips and remote work requests for your assignees—in one intuitive platform. Our dashboard provides real-time visibility across all assignments, giving you a comprehensive view of your global workforce.

How WorkFlex transforms your assignment process

WorkFlex simplifies the assignment process into a seamless 3-step journey, reducing administrative workload and addressing your key challenges.

Phase 1: Exploration & planning

At the outset of any assignment, you’ll need to address questions related to structure, payroll, timing, and costs. WorkFlex simplifies this process by starting with the few details you already have—no need to wait for complete details. You can update assignment parameters at any time.

Our Assignment Exploration Chat connects you to our Compliance Experts who can answer your (follow-up) questions and provide guidance to help you design the best assignment structure. While our AI powers rapid document generation, we ensure that human expertise is always available to guide you through the process.

Phase 2: Comprehensive compliance package

Once you’ve defined your assignment parameters, WorkFlex generates a tailored compliance toolkit that includes:

  • In-Depth Assignment Compliance Assessment: Get evaluations across ten critical dimensions—from Social Security, Personal Income Tax, Visa to Data Security—with actionable recommendations for each potential risk.

  • HR To-Do List: Receive a clear, chronological list of tasks with deadlines that cover the entire assignment lifecycle, including step-by-step guidance for both the home and host countries.

  • Simplified Balance Sheet: Access transparent net salary calculations that consider tax obligations and cost-of-living differences—without the need for expensive tax lawyer consultations. Our AI-driven approach delivers the same results as costly indices, at no extra cost.

  • Comprehensive Cost Projections: View forecasts of all potential expenses beyond base compensation, enabling you to set realistic budgets and avoid unexpected costs. WorkFlex can even suggest appropriate allowance amounts based on your unique situation.

Phase 3: Ongoing assignment management

Once your employee is abroad, WorkFlex provides continuous support as compliance does not stop when the assignment begins. When expatriates travel for business or workations, you'll receive instant risk assessments and compliance documentation tailored to their visas and other factors, such as reentry eligibility.

Moreover, WorkFlex gives you real-time visibility of your global workforce through a centralized dashboard—eliminating the need for cluttered spreadsheets. This helps your HR team stay organized while gaining valuable time for strategic planning.
