Global employee equity: Navigating local rules, tax and complexity for mobile employees

Employee mobility went mainstream during the pandemic years and continues to be a reality of the modern working world. No longer something that affects only executives, the term digital nomad is more and more relevant across all employee tiers.

Advances in technology benefitting tax authorities, and the need to keep up-to-date with changing tax laws and reporting requirements have added complications for HR, payroll and equity award administrators.

With that in mind, global stock plan professional and Rutlen Associates LLC Partner Marlene Zobayan joined us on the Prosperity at Work podcast, where she and host Chris Dohrmann took a deep dive into what can be a challenging area for companies.

Among the topics discussed were:

• Where are your executives based and how are you tracking this
• Attitudes of US states and other countries towards mobility and equity-related tax collection
• How technological advances make it easier for tax authorities to detect non-compliance
• Best practices for companies
• Digital nomads and associated issues
