International Assignment Allowances
International Assignment Allowances for Individual Assignees
When sending an employee on an international assignment, having access to accurate international assignment allowances allows you to craft the right compensation package. AIRINC offers a full suite of allowances to help you successfully compensate an employee on an international assignment.
Your Allowance Reports
Each international assignment allowance report contains information for an employee based on their salary and family size. Available allowances are:

- Housing Norms (employee’s housing contribution amount)
- Transportation Allowances
- Hypothetical Tax Calculations
- Hardship Premiums
Your Allowance Options
The following allowances can be configured to your desired level of subsidy. Examples of at-the-ready configurations are:
- COLA – ability to include or exclude automobile operating costs, as well as choose your desired level of COLA support from high to low with three levels to choose from: Expatriate (EXP, High), Mobility (MBL, Medium) and Agility (AGL, Low)
- Housing – ability to choose your desired level of housing support from high to low, with three levels to choose from: Expatriate (EXP, High), Mobility (MBL, Medium) and Agility (AGL, Low), based on your employee’s job level
