The RES Forum launches a new service to members - Mobility and International Assignment Policy Document Templates.

London 5th June 2015 –The RES Forum are delighted to launch a new service to members – Mobility and International Assignment Policy Document Templates.

A comprehensive range of document templates are available covering:

• Long Term Assignments
• Short Term Assignments
• Commuter Assignments
• Permanent Relocation
• Tax Equalisation
• Business Travel

Members can login to the site and click on the Policy Docs menu item/icon from any page. They then go through a simple guide and decide which documents or document bundles to purchase. These documents can be purchased as vanilla Word templates that members can edit themselves or they have the option of buying either a half day or a full day’s worth of consulting support to customise them for their needs.

These documents are fully compliant, consistent and cover compensation, relocation and assignment benefits, tax and social security. Use of these documents will lower assignment management costs and significantly reduce risk and liability issues for organisations.

Poorly structured assignment agreements can be hugely expensive for organisations. Often, they can result in unexpected taxation liabilities in both countries for both employer and employee. Without standard policies, every assignment is effectively treated as an exception. Neither the employer nor employee is satisfied with the result.

The RES Forum are supporting Mobility Professionals by providing a high quality, comprehensive and fully compliant global mobility policy repository. These ready-to-use documents allow companies to move and assign employees quickly and efficiently and de-risk the process.

The RES Forum (www.theresforum.com) was created in 2006 as an independent community for International HR & Mobility professionals and is now the largest and most active network, specialising in global mobility survey data, modelling and analytics. Over 675 members from 337 of the world’s leading companies in 41 countries, all mobility professionals, have joined the RES Forum and are active participants in knowledge sharing in an increasingly growing online community.
