Policy Design

Structured policies for assignment types, duration, and eligibility.

Compensation & Benefits

Tax-efficient allowance structures for Italy and EU assignments.

Compliance Alignment

Policies that respect Italian tax, labor, and social security rules.

Corporate mobility policies define how your company manages international assignments—who is eligible, what benefits they receive, how tax is handled, and what processes apply. A well-designed policy ensures consistency, fairness, and compliance across assignments to Italy and other destinations. We help you draft or refine policies that align with your business objectives while respecting Italian and EU legal requirements.

Key policy elements for Italy assignments include: assignment types (short-term, long-term, commuter, permanent transfer), compensation approach (home-based vs. host-based, tax equalization vs. protection), allowances (housing, cost of living, education), relocation support, and repatriation terms. We ensure that benefit structures are compatible with Italian tax treatment and that labor law requirements (including for posted workers) are reflected in the policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about corporate mobility policies

What is the difference between tax equalization and tax protection?

Tax equalization ensures the assignee pays the same tax as at home; the company bears any excess. Tax protection caps the assignee’s tax at home level but lets them keep savings if host tax is lower. We help choose and implement the right approach for your policy.

Should our policy differ for Italy vs. other EU countries?

Core principles can be consistent, but Italy-specific rules (tax rates, social security, labor law, posted workers) should be reflected. We help tailor policy language and benefit structures for Italy assignments.

How do we handle posted workers in our mobility policy?

Posted workers typically remain on home payroll with home benefits. The policy should address A1 certificates, notification requirements, equivalent remuneration, and duration limits. We integrate these elements into your policy framework.
