FEM announces new Amsterdam Global Mobility Conference

22nd March 2018 at Hotel Okura, Amsterdam

FEM Amsterdam Conference 2018

“Really exciting news that there will be a brand new 2018 FEM Amsterdam Global Mobility

Conference. Global Mobility professionals asked us several times when there will be an FEM

Conference on ‘mainland Europe’ in addition to the London Summit in November - and it is so nice

that is now really going to happen. GM professionals will have a full day to learn from keynote

speakers and for networking and sharing with each other. I am really looking forward to March

22, 2018!”

Henk Amorison, FEM Netherlands Chapter Lead and Partner, Hillbrook Tax Solutions, Amsterdam

This intensive, one-day conference will be covering a wide range of topics with speakers who

are expert in both their professional areas of focus and in the Netherlands and Europe as a

whole.

There will a lively mix of keynote panel discussions, focused streams, multiple workshop

sessions, interactive roundtables and case studies as well as plenty of opportunities to

network with senior global mobility leaders.

What does this mean for Mobility?

1. Compliance Perspective

Page 11: FORUM FOR EXPATRIATE MANAGEMENT …...About FEM • Inclusive network • Share best practice • Provide valuable networking • Foster knowledge sharing 2017 Date Place Topic 16.05.2017

Page 11

Compliance Perspective Employee Groups

Foreign Local Hires

► Foreign national employees with a

local contract to work in host

country for a limited duration or

permanent basis (e.g. a foreign

national hired for a local role)

Virtual Employees

► Virtual employees work for a

company in a foreign location (e.g.

for the headquarter) but live and

physically perform their work in

another country (e.g. country where

an affiliate of the headquarter

company is based)

Global Roles

► One employment contract, global

role, but not associated with

frequent travelling (e.g. global tax

function)

Cross-Border Business

Traveler

► Employees who do not relocate to

another country, but travel

frequently outside their home

country to conduct in the interest of

the home company (e.g. for

trainings, meetings, workshops)

PE/Branch Traveler

► Employee traveling to another

country for an extended duration

and performing certain type of

activities that can trigger permanent

establishment (PE)

Multi-Responsibility

► An employee with a single

employment but having multiple

responsibilities in at least 2

companies and/ or countries (e.g.

employed by XYZ Germany but

responsible for 60% Germany and

40% Austria)

Compliance Perspective Multiple risk compliance issues

Global

risks

Senior business travelers in certain

countries can create permanent

establishment (PE) risks for the

employing entity

Non-compliance with complex

immigration, withholding tax, social

security and other reporting

requirements creates a potential for

penalty assessment

Unknown employees could pose risk

of other employment law exposure to

the company

Tax and immigration laws in many

countries have criminal penalties

including imprisonment for violators

Employees do not want personal tax

and immigration exposure

Allegations of tax evasion by an

employer or its employees in a

particular country can seriously harm

an organization's reputation and may

affect its ability to operate in that

country

Non-compliance with local legislation can result in

failure to properly budget and allocate costs

General non-

compliance

The need of shaping new GM programs Different policies for different move types

A single global mobility policy

can work…

…but there is a strong trend

towards a segmented policy approach in many

companies

01 Segmentation

can mean

creation of:

► Multiple policies

to meet a variety

of global

mobility needs

► Flexibility within

global mobility

policies

02 Different

assignment purposes mean different terms:

► Flexibility and

cost savings

opportunities

► Better support

for assignees

and their

families

03 Increased use of alternative move types:

► Extended business traveller

► Localization/ Local Plus

Background – policy development

* Complimented by a

short-term policy

** Complimented by a short-

term and commuter policy

1998 Launch of IMAP

(International Mobility

Assignment Program)

First global framework,

implementation on

country level with

limited global guidance

2003 Launch of GMF

(Global Mobility

Framework)

Three longer-term

assignment policies*:

► Strategic

► Developmental

► Local

Challenges in execution:

► Policy determination

too difficult

► Deviations and

exceptions common

► Anticipated hierarchical

alignment did not occur

2010 Launch of IMF

(International Mobility

Framework)

Two main longer-term

policies**:

► Long-term Assignment

(LTA)

► Return Transfer Policy

(RTP)

Challenges in execution:

► Preference for LTA

increased costs

► Negotiations and

exceptions common,

partly reduced by

return transfer-plus

(RTP Plus)

The next

evolution

Policy changes

are ongoing as

they adapt to the

evolving needs of

the business and

people. Our

experience

showed that the

time for the next

program iteration

had come.

Mobility framework review – project mission

A mobility framework for EY needs to:

► Align our practices with our mobility strategy and philosophy

in support of our Vision 2020

► Provide benefits that are competitive in external comparison

in the market

► Provide flexibility to meet business and individual needs

► Enable effective processing and minimize line by line

negotiations on an individual level

► Be considered a leading practice approach

Global Mobility. Leading the way to outstanding experiences and outcomes.

Page 31

Prior to the mobility framework review

There was a gap in

the middle, which

some of the

Business had

already started to

fill.

If a home-based approach is applied,

a whole suite of benefits falls into

place, with little to no optionality.

LTA Home-based compensation

Full relocation benefits

Home pension/social security plan

Tax equalization

On assignment benefits

Other benefits

If a host-based compensation

approach is applied, only a set of core

benefits is provided with other benefits

added at discretion only.

RTP Host-based compensation

Some long-term benefits

Limited relocation

Two quite linear long-term policies that depended on compensation

approach applied

Application of the old framework Development and challenges

Development

► Usage of RTP (= host compensation) increased

significantly since its introduction

► Permutations to RTP were needed:

► FY13: RTP Plus offers an additional transfer

supplement

► FY14: GEP Assurance provides a housing

supplement

► LTA (= home compensation) used less and

mainly utilized for moves on higher ranks

Challenges

► Moves under core RTP difficult to manage

from mature to emerging markets

► Resulting in lengthy individual discussions

and inconsistent provision of benefits

► Senior Manager moves under RTP

particularly challenging e.g., regarding family

concerns and continuation of long term

benefits

► Application of LTA often cost prohibitive

Transforming Mobility at EY Key change in approach

Old policies

► Two distinctive long-term policies - lack of

readily available solutions forced reactive

approach

► Provision of assignment benefits was a

rather rigid “all or nothing” approach, except

where we’ve created program-approach

workarounds

► Lack of pre-packaged solutions created

undesirable practices:

► Lengthy discussions when the core

policies were not sufficient or too costly

► Workarounds where we “break” our

policies were too common

Mobility policies did not meet the diverse

needs of our business anymore

New framework

► Business empowered to make decisions on

mobility investment based on business case

► Relocation and on assignment benefits

independent of compensation approach

enabling “fit for purpose” packages

► Matrix with predefined benefit bundles provide

a structured flexibility

► Globally aligned mapping approach provides

transparency on recommended benefits

across similar business cases

Modular framework provides for mobility

investment in line with business case

Global Mobility. Leading the way to outstanding experiences and outcomes.

Overview of new framework Key terms and concepts

Modules are scaled into

five levels of benefits, ranging

from minimal compliance to

maximal benefits, creating

structured flexibility

For specific programs

or populations, a specific

pre-mapped profile – defining

which module and benefit level

applies – will be defined

Benefit bundles (or Modules) will

be defined for compensation,

relocation/repatriation and on-

assignment benefits to limit line

by line item discussions

For ad hoc assignments,

profile will be mapped based

on assessment of business

case, assignment drivers and

individual needs

Scalability of modular benefits

Framework set up for structured flexibility

► Benefits independent of home or host compensation approach and,

therefore, combinable with either

► Definition of 12 topical modules (= benefit bundles) with five-step

scaling: essential, core, regular, classic and premium

► Modules scaled as much as possible, offering “off the shelf”

solutions for minimal (essential) and top-end (premium) benefits

► Top-end benefits in line with external benchmark

► Restructured and scalable family related benefits

► Discretionary benefits available in addition to defined modules in

form of “flex cash” amount or “flex budget” reimbursement

Further flexibility for the business

► Based on business case, mobility recommends a

certain level of assignment benefits

► Business is able to:

► Choose a higher or lower benefit level and/or

► To provide flexible benefits at discretion

Modules with scalable benefits

1 Pre-assignment trip

2 Relocation support

3 Repatriation support

4 Relocation/repatriation allowances

5 Loss on sale/lease of car

6 Travel

7 Family benefit budget

8 Home leave

9 Shipping

10 Housing support

11 Children education

12 Learning and development

Further flexibility for the individual

► Individuals provided with cash-out options for certain

benefits allowing for flexible spending

► Cash-out options available for:

► Relocation shipping entitlement

► Home leave entitlement

Mapping and profiles

To manage the modular framework, the following will be differentiated:

Individual assignments

For individual assignments, the benefits are mapped by

considering rank as well as associated business case and

individual needs

Standard profiles

For assignments within specific programs or pre-defined

categories there are pre-mapped benefits

As an entry point for the mapping of benefits for both scenarios, the following will apply:

For compensation

► Partners to stay on home compensation

(different partnership models and equity issues)

► Individuals below PPEDD* level to be transferred to a

host compensation package

► Where home and host compensation levels

significantly differ, and depending on strength

of individual business case, options are to:

► Leave individuals on home compensation or

► Provide salary supplement in addition to host

compensation

MMF benefits and risks

How EY benefits

► The MMF meets business requirements for a more flexible and

differentiated investment into mobility

► It transforms the existing proliferation of terms and conditions into

a structured framework

► The structured flexibility of the modular approach and mapping

provide “off the shelf” solutions to the business and avoid a free-for-all,

line-by-line item discussion

► Replication of current “linear” policies remain an option without the

rigidity of the current policies

► New benefit combinations are possible by dissolving the mandatory link

between compensation approach and benefit level

► Focus is on business case while addressing individual needs as well

► The new framework is ahead of existing leading practice, as policy

diversification is the current market trend

Risks to consider

► The MMF as a benefit framework

cannot solve the question of

funding; this needs to be resolved

by the business

► A flexible approach is more

complex than a linear one and

requires stronger business

partnering and a higher caliber

of mobility consultants

► Involvement and commitment

from business stakeholders is

needed to facilitate a transparent

decision-making process

► Provision of differing benefits

will lead to perceived inequity

between assignees
