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
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)
Page 12
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

Mehrfachverantwortung
► Definition: Ein Arbeitsvertrag, aber Rolle für mehrere Länder
Norbert Müller
► Bisher Angestellter der deutschen Muttergesellschaft.
► In den USA wird eine neue Tochtergesellschaft im
Rahmen eines Joint Ventures mit einer US-Gesellschaft
gegründet und er wird als Geschäftsführer ernannt und
verbringt bis auf weiteres einige Tage pro Monat in den
USA.
► Der Arbeitsvertrag bleibt unverändert und die
Gehaltsauszahlung verbleibt in Deutschland.
Page 14
Mehrfachverantwortung
► Risiko steuerrechtlich:
► Lohnsteuerpflicht in zwei oder mehr Ländern, da wirtschaftlicher Arbeitgeber sich anteilig verlagert.
► Prozess für Anmeldung von Lohnsteuer muss eingerichtet sein.
► Betriebsstättenrisiko ist hoch, wenn die Tätigkeiten unter einem Arbeitsvertrag erfolgen und keine saubere Trennung der tatsächlichen Tätigkeit pro Land möglich ist.
► Transferpricinggrundsätze müssen in Bezug auf Gehaltstragung beachtet werden
► Risiko Sozialversicherungspflicht:
► Sozialversicherungsabkommen muss geprüft werden, da regelmäßige Tätigkeit im Land – ggf. doppelte Sozialversicherungspflicht
► Risiko Immigration:
► Ein deutscher Staatsbürger benötigt ab dem 1. Tag eine Arbeitserlaubnis in den USA. Je nach Firmenkonstellation wäre ein L oder E Visum zu beantragen.
Page 15
Grenzüberschreitende Tätigkeit
► Definition: Eine Tätigkeit wird während einer Dienstreise außerhalb des Heimatlandes erbracht
Stefan Meier ► Angestellter in Deutschland
► Besucht regelmäßig einen Kunden in San Jóse/Costa Rica,
der eine Maschine gekauft hat, um dort die Mitarbeiter
einzuweisen und Wartungsarbeiten durchzuführen
Page 16
Grenzüberschreitende Tätigkeit
► Risiko steuerrechtlich:
► Zu prüfen ob ein Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen besteht sowie ob die Tätigkeit ein Besteuerungsrecht gem. nationalem Steuerrecht auslöst (mit Costa Rica gibt es ab 1. Januar 2017 ein DBA)
► Anzahl der Aufenthaltstage für die 183-Tage-Regelung
► Nationales Steuerrecht überlagert ggf. das DBA und hat Dokumentationsverpflichtungen trotz Unterschreitung 183 Tage

► Sozialversicherungsabkommen muss geprüft werden
► Risiko Immigration:
► Ausübung einer Tätigkeit, die nicht in Costa Rica vergütet wird.

Kunden zu betreuen und ist im Vertrieb eines neuen
Produktes eingesetzt
► Er verhandelt daher auch Verträge mit deutschen Kunden,
die in Großbritannien dann final unterzeichnet werden.
► Der Arbeitsvertrag bleibt unverändert und die
Gehaltsauszahlung verbleibt in Großbritannien.
Page 18
Betriebsstätte
► Risiko steuerrechtlich:
► Durch BEPS wird die Definition der Betriebsstätte verschärft, so dass auch ausreichend ist, wenn der wesentliche Teil des Vertrages in dem anderen Land verhandelt wird, auch wenn Unterzeichnung im anderen Staat
► Damit Begründung ertragssteuerliche Betriebsstätte und Lohnsteuerpflicht unabhängig von der Anzahl der tatsächlich verbrachten Arbeitstage
► Prozess für Anmeldung von Lohnsteuer muss eingerichtet sein.
► Bei Inbounds die im Ausland leben (d.h. Arbeitsvertrag in Deutschland, Tätigkeit im Ausland) ist jeder einzelne Tag in Deutschland steuerpflichtig da Betriebsstätten kein selbständiger Arbeitgeber sein können
► Risiko Sozialversicherungspflicht:
► Sozialversicherungsabkommen muss geprüft werden – da US-Staatsbürger findet EU/EWR-Verordnung 776/2004 keine Anwendung
► Risiko Immigration: ► US Staatsbürger, für Vertragsverhandlung wäre keine Aufenthaltsgenehmigung für Erwerbszwecke
notwendig, jedoch für die Vertriebstätigkeit, individuelle Einschätzung notwendig. US Staatsbürger sind vom D Visum befreit. Beantragung mit der Vorabzustimmung der AMZ. Durchschnittliche Prozesszeit derzeit 4-6 Wochen.

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

makes up for over 50% of all mobility –
however the majority of moves is from EM into
developed markets (DM) regions
► Gender ratio has been stable over the last
years
► Majority of long-term assignees go on host
based packages
► A significant amount of all mobility at EY is
short-term (below 12 months)

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
Global Mobility. Leading the way to outstanding experiences and outcomes.
Page 32
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.
Page 34
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

5 Loss on sale/lease of car
6 Travel
7 Family benefit budget

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
Global Mobility. Leading the way to outstanding experiences and outcomes.
Page 37
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
For benefits
► Two possible standard benefit levels by rank, e.g.
► PPEDDs* – premium or classic package
► Senior managers – classic or regular package
► Managers and below – regular or core package
► One benefit level to be recommended depending on
business case assessment
► Business able to adjust all benefit modules “one up”
or “one down”, for higher degree deviations additional
counsel from the Service Line/Service Line Leader
necessary
► Upward adjustments only to be made by the party
willing to pick up the associated cost
*PPEDD = Partner, Principal, Executive Director or Director

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
