SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps legal teams map the full cross-functional requirements for international hiring and produces an outside-counsel briefing plan without relying on static country-law tables.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Expansion planning for international hiring (EOR vs entity framing): Collects key inputs about the country, roles, headcount, timeline, and existing setup, then frames the decision with CFO/tax-ready questions and an explicit PE-risk flag for relevant roles.
  • Cross-functional trigger checklist: Drafts what tax, finance/payroll, HR/total rewards, and outside counsel must do, including the specific questions legal should ask each function before key milestones (first hire, first paycheck, offer).
  • Persistent gap tracker + structured counsel request: Creates a persistent tracker file and generates a country-specific outside-counsel briefing request covering entity structure, employment contracts, termination, benefits/contributions, representation, data protection, work authorization, and day-one compliance.

Quick Start

Run /employment-legal:expansion-kickoff to collect the hiring inputs and generate the initial framing, outside-counsel briefing request, and expansion tracker for the selected country.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide between using an EOR or setting up a direct entity for international hiring?

Deciding between EOR and a direct entity for international hiring requires evaluating country footprint, headcount, and timeline. This Skill frames the decision with CFO and tax-ready questions, flagging permanent establishment risk to guide your cross-functional expansion strategy.

What do I need to prepare for an outside counsel briefing on new country employment compliance?

Preparing an outside counsel briefing for employment compliance requires structured inputs on roles and entity setup. This Skill generates a country-specific briefing request covering entity structure, contracts, termination, benefits, data protection, and work authorization for external legal review.

How do I coordinate tax, payroll, and HR triggers for international expansion?

Coordinating tax, payroll, and HR for international expansion requires a structured cross-functional checklist. This Skill drafts specific questions legal teams must ask finance and total rewards before key milestones like the first hire, first paycheck, and offer extension.

Can I track ongoing compliance gaps when expanding my company's workforce into a new country?

Tracking compliance gaps during new country expansion requires a persistent record of cross-functional requirements. This Skill creates a persistent expansion tracker file to monitor outstanding legal, tax, and HR tasks throughout the international hiring process.

When should I transition from an Employer of Record to a direct foreign entity?

Transitioning from an Employer of Record to a direct entity depends on headcount scale and permanent establishment risk. This Skill supports EOR-to-entity conversion considerations by structuring the necessary CFO and tax question sets for your legal team.

Does this international hiring planning tool provide static country-law tables?

This international hiring planner does not provide static country-law tables. It routes all substantive country-law answers through outside counsel, focusing instead on internal cross-functional planning, PE risk flagging, and structured legal briefing generation.
