Hi all,

We are going to depute one employee in Abu Dhabi for 3 to 4 years, and we will pay only the basic salary from India. The rest of the salary will be paid to him by another consultancy over there. Can you please confirm which compliance we need to follow in this case? Also, please suggest on the below-listed questions:

1. Can we show him as a full-time employee continuously, or do we need to change his employment status?
2. Are there any specific compliance requirements that we need to cover for the employee?
3. What will be the employee's location in the record? Can we show him as a remote employee?

We are registered under the Punjab Shop and Establishment Act. Thanks in advance.

From India, Mohali

Dear Pradeep,
This is though not unique for Indian companies most of HR professionals are not familiar with the obligations & admin concerning 'employees deputed abroad' and their split salary aspects. I tried to suggest few things hope this helps you.
There are mainly two/three obligations I could point out to you-
1) Statutory obligations under Indian acts & rules as the employee(s) still continued to be borne in Indian co's pay roll;
2) Tax implications.
In this quest the following links will provide insight into these aspects, text/extracts of which also attached herein for your ready reference.
- Employer's Duty of Care When Employees Are Deputed ...

These may provide some information broadly as a cursory look, expert advice of those having practical experience & guidance of concerned authorities shall be availed for better administration.
