Work Around the World

Posted by JMC Legal Recruitment on 20th May 2021 -

Global employees and fully remote companies with staff that “follow the sun” across different time zones are increasing.

With technology making it possible, companies such as the tech firm Automattic and the pet care company Vet-AI have embraced the opportunity to avoid having an office full of people and recruit a global network of staff instead.

• Employees are spread across the globe working flexible hours, with no limits on where they work from.
• It means customers/clients have staff available 24/7.
• And employees don’t need to work night shifts.

You might think wages would vary hugely depending on the location, but in both instances, these companies ensure salaries are in the same range with equal holiday entitlement and benefits.

There’s a lot that needs to go into ensuring the tax and local laws of each country are complied with. Effective communication and infrastructure are key.

But the reward is a much more diverse range of employees recruited for their talent, not how close they live to company HQ.

• Can you work from anywhere?
• Does this idea appeal?
