    Remote Work Management

    Say yes to flexibility. Stay on top of compliance.

    Employees expect the freedom to work from anywhere. Your tax and legal teams need to know exactly where that is. Remote Work Management gives every request a structured path: guided intake, automated compliance screening, and a configurable approval workflow, all in one place.

    The problem

    Remote work compliance is invisible until it isn't.

    01

    Employees work anywhere without telling anyone

    Remote workers cross into tax nexus territory, create permanent establishment exposure, and trigger payroll obligations in jurisdictions where the company has no presence. This happens invisibly, at scale. 84% of mobility teams lack visibility into employee work locations. (Source: AI Inflection Point report)

    02

    No consistent approval process

    Some managers approve requests informally. Others escalate to HR. There is no standard process, no documentation, and no audit trail. One employee gets a fast yes; another waits three weeks.

    03

    Compliance finds out after the fact

    By the time legal or tax discovers an employee has been working from a different country for six months, the exposure already exists. Remediation is expensive and difficult to explain.

    04

    Policy is applied inconsistently

    Without a centralized system, different employees in similar situations receive different answers. This creates legal risk, pay equity issues, and employee relations problems.

    Why Remote Work Management

    Remote work was not built for this level of risk.

    Before

    Legacy

    Traditional approach

    • Requests arrive via email, Slack, or informal conversation.
    • Approval depends on the manager, not a consistent policy.
    • Compliance risk discovered after the employee is already in country.
    • No audit trail linking decisions to policy.
    • Policy applied differently across teams, regions, and reviewers.
    • No visibility into where employees are working at any point in time.

    What it does

    From informal approval to structured, compliant process.

    01

    Structured request intake

    Employees submit work-from-anywhere requests through a guided intake form that captures location, duration, role, and business justification. No more informal Slack approvals or email chains.

    02

    Automated compliance screening

    Each request is evaluated against tax nexus thresholds, immigration requirements, and your policy rules. Risk flags surface before a decision is made, not after.

    03

    Configurable approval workflows

    Route requests to the right reviewers based on location, duration, or employee type. Multi-step approvals, parallel review, and auto-approval for low-risk scenarios are all configurable.

    04

    Policy-linked decisions

    Every approved request is governed by the policy rules you set. Approved duration, eligible locations, and renewal terms are enforced by the system, not by whoever happens to review the request.

    05

    Audit trail for every decision

    Every request, every review step, and every approval or denial is logged with timestamps and user attribution. If a tax authority ever asks, the record is already there.

    How it works

    Every request, the same structured path.

    01

    Submit

    The employee completes a guided intake form with their requested location, dates, request type, and business justification. Supporting documentation can be attached.

    02

    Screen

    The platform automatically checks tax nexus thresholds, immigration requirements, and policy eligibility. Risk flags surface to reviewers before any decision is made.

    03

    Approve

    The request routes to the configured approvers. Reviewers see the risk assessment and policy alignment alongside the request.

    04

    Track

    The decision is logged with a full audit trail. Approved conditions such as duration limits and required check-ins are monitored automatically throughout the arrangement.

    Built-in Intelligence

    Compliance checks that run before you need them.

    AI Agent

    Ask about compliance risk for a specific location, duration, and employee type before routing for approval. Get an instant read on tax nexus and immigration exposure.

    Risk scoring

    Each request receives an automated risk assessment based on jurisdiction, duration, employee role, and existing company presence in the destination country.

    Threshold tracking

    The platform alerts your team before an employee crosses into higher-risk territory, so you act before an obligation triggers, not after.

    Audit trail

    Every request, approval, denial, and extension logged with timestamps and user attribution, giving you a defensible record for tax authorities and internal audits.

    Platform Preview
    Example use cases

    Built for how remote work actually happens.

    US employee requests two months in Portugal

    Tax nexus check, social security assessment, and policy eligibility review run automatically. Compliance sees the risk summary before approving, not after the employee has landed.

    Company formalizes remote work across 30 markets

    Standardized intake, automated screening, and a single place for legal to review and approve at scale, without building a custom workflow for each market.

    Employee approaches approved duration limits

    The platform alerts the mobility team before the threshold is crossed, so compliance acts before an obligation triggers, not after.

    Who it's for

    Built for every stakeholder managing remote work risk.

    Risk and Compliance

    Know exactly where your employees are working and what obligations that creates. Compliance screening runs before approvals go out, so you are not discovering exposure six months later.

    HR

    Give employees a clear, consistent process for requesting flexibility without creating legal risk. Policy rules apply the same way to every request. Approvals move faster because the process is clear.

    Mobility

    Structured intake and automated screening replace the manual back-and-forth that consumes your team's time. Stop handling work-from-anywhere requests through email.

    Finance

    Risk flags surface early. Understand the tax and payroll implications of remote work before they become a surprise. Finance advises on decisions instead of cleaning up after them.
