TRUSS is here to help global companies find, recruit, and hire talented tech employees in Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan – but what happens after you hire international employees? We know that you undoubtedly have many questions about global payroll best practices and much more. Many employers want to know – do overseas employees still get holiday pay? Yes. Holiday pay is common across the globe, albeit with different government, religious, and secular holidays that will vary based on the country of employment and that is where TRUSS can help.
How To Follow Local Laws for Global Holiday Pay
When you employ employees across the globe, the religious, secular, and government holidays they celebrate will vary based on where they live and it is an element of employment that you need to be aware of. Countries across the globe handle employment and holidays differently and each country will have local laws that you need to adhere to as a global employer – which can make payroll and scheduling more complicated. Employers that do not remain compliant with local labor laws can face fines, fees, and penalties.
TRUSS provides a global employment platform that caters to companies who hire in Georgia, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. A simple Google search may not be enough to ensure that you remain compliant with local holiday, vacation, payroll, and paid-time-off (PTO) laws in those countries. TRUSS has the experience and knowledge you need in Central Asian and Eastern European regions to help you remain compliant with local laws that pertain to payroll, holiday pay, and more. Partner with TRUSS as your employer of record to take the guesswork out of your international team.
