Working for a US based company in the EU

[octanetorque]

Just looking for some advice or pointers towards what I can negotiate on: vis leave private healthcare, other perks.

Happy to do the salary negotiation side of things, but need some pointers around receiving pay - probably in USD to my bank account will incur charges - any work arounds?

I'll be employed under EU regs - any links or advice towards to standardised contractual requirements I can send them i.e. I'm their first non-US recruit so they need some pointers.

Thanks
OT

That's an interesting pair of insights. Thank you both.

Tax is a whole new set of issue I hadn't thought of investigating. The employer obligations might be one worth looking at and any liabilities. As you say, having a UK related contract seems the key.

Orangefield is interesting - lots of handy info there

After doing some more digging I found this...

If they don't have a UK presence, you will have to set up some sort of "self-employment" structure (usually a "consulting business") and take your pay as "fees." That adds a certain level of complication, as you then become responsible for your own taxes, social insurances and business expenses. As a contractor you normally would need to be paid a bit more than your current salary in order to stay even - especially if you need accounting or other help to keep your books and payroll records.

Anyone with experience of this?
