Document background
The International Assignment Agreement is a critical document used when temporarily relocating employees to work in foreign jurisdictions while maintaining their home country employment relationship. This agreement, governed by Irish law, is essential for organizations managing global mobility programs and requires careful consideration of multiple legal frameworks, including Irish employment law, EU regulations, and host country requirements. It typically covers comprehensive details about assignment duration, compensation packages, tax arrangements, benefits, and support services while ensuring compliance with Irish employment legislation and international regulations. The document is particularly important for Irish companies expanding globally and multinational organizations with Irish operations, as it helps manage risks, ensures clear communication of terms, and protects both employer and employee interests during international assignments.
