Morning,
Apologies, as I know this has been asked previously, but I have been unable to access the threads due to an IT gremlin which has affected older threads.
I have an employee who is asking if we would consider her request to permanently relocate back to Greece, but continue to work for us a UK based charity.
Could someone please give me a short version of what this would entail for us as an employer? I've read some pretty scary stories such as:
- An employee living and working abroad on a permanent basis is likely to acquire employment rights in the host country.
-
If an individual has become tax resident overseas then the employer is also likely to be liable to pay whatever the appropriate employment taxes and social security contributions (including pension) that are due in that country.
- Administrative and logistical complication of becoming an employer overseas for just one employee. Would we need to set up a payroll system to tax one UK employee on PAYE.
- Are we as a UK employer is risking the creation of a permanent establishment being created in the country in which the employee is now tax resident.
-
As the employee’s role involves the processing of sensitive data - the GDPR implications?
Many thanks in advance
