A significant issue facing global corporations is the potential for liability created by "accidental expats" -- those employees who travel overseas on what are intended to be brief business trips or short assignments. These employees normally are not included in the company's global mobility programs and their prolonged presence in other countries can create employment, corporate and individual tax, immigration and social security issues for the company.

Corporations may also run into the accidental expat problem when they are not aware of an employee's whereabouts when the employee has requested to work remotely. In addition, companies may unintentionally run afoul of tax and social security requirements when entering a new market by hiring individuals as independent contractors, by hiring local nationals as employees of the U.S. company (not a local subsidiary with a local payroll), or by sending expatriates and keeping them employed by the U.S. parent company. This program will discuss these issues and more, highlighting the risks and possible ways to minimize potential exposure.
