SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps legal teams map the full cross-functional requirements for international hiring and produces an outside-counsel briefing plan without relying on static country-law tables.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Expansion planning for international hiring (EOR vs entity framing): Collects key inputs about the country, roles, headcount, timeline, and existing setup, then frames the decision with CFO/tax-ready questions and an explicit PE-risk flag for relevant roles.
  • Cross-functional trigger checklist: Drafts what tax, finance/payroll, HR/total rewards, and outside counsel must do, including the specific questions legal should ask each function before key milestones (first hire, first paycheck, offer).
  • Persistent gap tracker + structured counsel request: Creates a persistent tracker file and generates a country-specific outside-counsel briefing request covering entity structure, employment contracts, termination, benefits/contributions, representation, data protection, work authorization, and day-one compliance.

Quick Start

Run /employment-legal:expansion-kickoff to collect the hiring inputs and generate the initial framing, outside-counsel briefing request, and expansion tracker for the selected country.

What do I need to prepare for an outside counsel briefing on new country employment compliance?▼

This Skill generates a country-specific briefing request covering entity structure, contracts, termination, benefits, data protection, and work authorization for external legal review.

How do I coordinate tax, payroll, and HR triggers for international expansion?▼

Coordinating tax, payroll, and HR for international expansion requires a structured cross-functional checklist. This Skill drafts specific questions legal teams must ask finance and total rewards before key milestones like the first hire, first paycheck, and offer extension.

Can I track ongoing compliance gaps when expanding my company's workforce into a new country?▼

Tracking compliance gaps during new country expansion requires a persistent record of cross-functional requirements. This Skill creates a persistent expansion tracker file to monitor outstanding legal, tax, and HR tasks throughout the international hiring process.

When should I transition from an Employer of Record to a direct foreign entity?▼

Transitioning from an Employer of Record to a direct entity depends on headcount scale and permanent establishment risk. This Skill supports EOR-to-entity conversion considerations by structuring the necessary CFO and tax question sets for your legal team.

Does this international hiring planning tool provide static country-law tables?▼

This international hiring planner does not provide static country-law tables. It routes all substantive country-law answers through outside counsel, focusing instead on internal cross-functional planning, PE risk flagging, and structured legal briefing generation.
