The employment contract

When you send a new employee abroad

If a new employee will normally work in the UK but will be required to work for you abroad for more than a month, the written statement you give them must include details of:

• the period they will be employed abroad
• the currency in which they will be paid
• any additional pay or benefits provided because of employment abroad
• terms relating to their return to the UK

There is a special case for employees who will leave to work abroad for more than a month within two months of starting work. You should give any such employees their written statements before they leave.
