Employee Benefits & Compensation
Compete Beyond Salary with Employee Benefits
Salary and Employee Benefits Benchmarking
We provide local data on statutory and market rates for vacation, notice periods, sick pay, maternity, 13th/14th month salaries, etc. and act both as an advisor, and as an administrator.
Statutory and Supplemental Employee Benefits
We provide insight into statutory and supplemental benefits to help you remain competitive with others in your industry. Benefit requirements and expectations vary by country so it is important to be aware of what local employees are looking for. Here are just a few examples of benefits that are common outside of the US.

- Travel allowances (mandatory in Japan)
- Profit sharing (mandatory in Mexico)
- Car or car allowance (supplemental benefit in many countries)

We communicate directly with your employees during launch and enrollment and provide day-to-day support synergistic to the style and culture of your organization.
