Payroll
Employees working in foreign locations may have unique payroll implications depending on the laws and regulations of the foreign country and additional benefits that may be provided to employees working abroad. These implications may impact both the university and the individual and must be administered by the HR Service Center.
International Finance, the HR Service Center and Human Resources work together to ensure compliance with foreign labor laws.
