FAQ
Internal transfer or local contract?
The answer affects tax, benefits, social protection, payroll and permit evidence. Compare both structures before signing.
When should housing start?
Define the brief early, but use temporary housing and test the real commute before committing to a long lease.
Orientation only, not individual legal, tax or financial advice. Rules and personal circumstances can change; obtain qualified advice before consequential decisions.
