Mobility, Payroll, and Immigration

A flexible, mobile workforce gives businesses additional flexibility to assign the right resources to the right locations supporting project requirements, facilitating business growth, and adding inherent value. A wide range of temporary, permanent, mobile, and remote employee arrangements are common in today’s businesses, each requiring different levels of support. Such flexibility can also increase compliance risk and make tax obligations more complex, with businesses and mobile employees often required to file returns in multiple jurisdictions.

Deloitte’s mobility tax experts draw on extensive knowledge of tax regulations across jurisdictions to help clients address these complex situations. Our team can align strategy, policy, and operations to address the talent and tax implications of a mobile workforce. Our mobility tax services include:

• Preparation of individual tax returns for domestic and mobile employees

For organizations with a mobile workforce, human resources and payroll services can be both complex and time-consuming. In addition to the administrative burden, they must manage employee-related risks and protect sensitive personal information—all while striving to align HR practices and policies with a company’s strategic vision.

Deloitte’s HR and payroll professionals help businesses improve efficiency and align resources with larger goals. We can assess existing processes, then recommend more cost-efficient, compliant solutions, often supported by innovative technology. 

We offer an array of flexible operational solutions, including payroll management, payroll system support, mobility compensation management, benefits administration, and HR workforce support. All support can be provided at any level—from short-term or ad hoc assistance to fully outsourced and co-sourced HR solutions staffed with professionals trained by Deloitte.

Many businesses need access to a global workforce with cross-border mobility. For those with operations in multiple geographies, employee mobility is key to strategic planning and operational expansion. To get the right resources in the right places, the transfer and onboarding of international employees must be well-coordinated and agile. This requires a compliant, cost-effective immigration program that supports both business objectives and the employee experience.

We work with organizations across all industries and at scale organizations with a handful of foreign national local hires to those with thousands of international assignees. Deloitte’s immigration specialists together with select alliances work to help clients develop successful strategies to address immigration challenges worldwide. Our immigration compliance services support businesses and private clients through the work permit and permanent residence processes – taking a programmatic approach to account management while remaining laser-focused on the employee experience. Our immigration advisory services professionals have built relationships with regulatory authorities and can provide government advocacy, audit, and right to work support. We partner with our clients to design immigration programs that are human-centered, built on diversity and inclusion, and based on proactive compliance.
