Global Affiliate
In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some University of Colorado employees working outside the United States (U.S.) were unable to enter or return to the U.S., but were still able and authorized by their supervisor to start working or continue working remotely. Some CU employees working remotely could not be easily paid using the current payroll system. To comply with University requirements for the university and/or foreign country requirements for employees working internationally, the University of Colorado System Employee Services office employed a professional employment organization (PEO) to better manage individuals working outside the U.S. This document states 精品SM在线影片鈥檚 guidelines regarding the use of the PEO for CU Affiliates working outside the U.S. and covers recommendations going forward, beyond issues associated with COVID-19.
A CU Global Affiliate is defined as any individual whose worksite is located outside of the United States, regardless of citizenship and residency. This includes individuals who are working remotely, under an arrangement specifically approved by their business or academic unit that permits the individual to work remotely in an international location. All individuals defined as Global Affiliates are considered 精品SM在线影片 affiliates under these guidelines.
Guideline Statement
Global employment relationships result in increased risks to the University and the individual performing the work. These may include, but are not limited to, violation of laws and regulations related to human resources, benefits, payroll, and tax. PEOs bring expertise in local laws and regulations so that 精品SM在线影片鈥檚 use of PEO expands compliant hiring practices internationally. The following is 精品SM在线影片鈥檚 policy regarding the use of the PEO for CU Global Affiliates.
