Purpose and Objectives

Establish a practical, repeatable framework for <Company Name> to identify, document, implement, and monitor local labor law requirements across all jurisdictions where it employs or engages workers.
Ensure Total Rewards, Payroll, HR Operations, and Legal teams have authoritative, up-to-date guidance for compliant pay, benefits, time, and employment practices.
Reduce compliance risk by defining clear accountabilities, internal controls, and escalation paths.
Support strategic growth by enabling efficient onboarding of new countries, states, and provinces with documented decision criteria and standardized tools.

Design Principles

Employee-first and compliant: Align with worker protections while meeting regulatory minimums and company policies.
Local law prevails: Where company policy and local law conflict, the more protective standard applies unless prohibited by law.
Documented and auditable: Maintain evidence of decisions, approvals, and controls.
Efficient and consistent: Use standard templates, registries, and workflows.
Proportionate: Apply risk-based tiering to prioritize high-impact jurisdictions and requirements.

Scope and Applicability

In Scope

All jurisdictions where <Company Name> employs individuals on payroll or via employer of record (EOR) arrangements.
Labor, employment, wage-and-hour, pay equity, pay transparency, social insurance, benefits mandates, leave entitlements, notice periods, termination pay, and recordkeeping requirements.
Total Rewards design and administration, including base pay, variable pay, allowances, benefits, and equity delivery implications.
Payroll tax and employer social contributions that affect Total Rewards costs and employee net pay.
Local postings, government filings, reporting, and disclosures related to pay and time.
Vendors engaged for payroll, benefits administration, mobility, or employment intermediation.

Out of Scope

Corporate income tax and entity-level tax matters.
Occupational health and safety beyond required postings and standard HR obligations.
Immigration sponsorship beyond verification of work authorization required at hire.
Collective bargaining negotiations; however, the resulting terms are in scope for compliant administration.

Applicability

Applies to all employees of <Company Name> and its subsidiaries, as well as workers engaged through EOR/PEO partners.
Contractors and consultants are covered only for classification and engagement controls; their commercial terms are governed separately.

Communication Section: Employee and Manager Guide

Purpose of This Section

This section explains, in plain language, what local labor law compliance means for you as an employee or manager of <Company Name>. It summarizes key protections and responsibilities. If you have questions about your specific situation, contact <HR Contact>.

What You Can Expect as an Employee

You will be paid at least the legal minimum wage for your location. If your location has higher local rates, those higher rates apply.
If you are eligible for overtime, extra pay will apply when you work beyond legal daily or weekly limits. Your time and attendance system will track your hours, and your manager must approve overtime in advance.
You are entitled to paid time off and public holidays according to your local rules and your contract. Your HR system will show your balance, accruals, and carryover.
If you are sick, welcoming a child, caring for a family member, or facing a bereavement, you may be entitled to specific leave. Please check your local leave guide or contact HR to understand pay and documentation requirements.
When you leave the company, you will receive your final pay by the legally required deadline. If your location requires payout of unused vacation, that will be included.
Your personal data will be handled responsibly and in line with local privacy laws. You can request access to your data through <Portal Name>.

What We Ask of Managers

Schedule work within legal limits, and plan for rest breaks and days off. If business needs require overtime, request approval and record it in the timekeeping system.
Post or share required local notices with your team, especially for remote workers. HR will provide updated versions.
Approve timesheets on time each pay period. Delays can cause pay errors and may violate local law.
Support employees taking statutory leave. Work with HR to manage coverage and return-to-work plans.
When changing an employee’s pay, hours, work location, or role, consult HR first. Some changes require advance notice or written consent.
For terminations, engage HR and Legal early. We must follow local processes, timelines, and documentation requirements.

- Public holidays and your local work calendar.
- How final pay is processed in your location.
- Contact details for HR and Payroll support.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I am eligible for overtime?

Do I need to record my hours if I am salaried?
- In some locations, yes. Your HR system will indicate whether you must record time for compliance.
What happens if a public holiday falls on a weekend?
- Depending on location, you may receive a substitute weekday. Your HR calendar will reflect the correct observance.
How are leaves paid?
- Some leaves are paid by the company, some by a government program, and some are unpaid but protected. Your local guide explains what applies to you.
Can I carry over unused vacation?
- Rules vary. Your HR system will show your carryover limit and deadlines.
