A Guide to Work from Anywhere Schemes: Best Practices, and Compliance

Ready to build a work from anywhere (WFA) scheme that supports flexibility without losing sight of compliance? This guide covers practical best practices, key workforce considerations, and the foundations of an effective WFA policy.

What’s included:

  • What is a WFA scheme?
  • How WFA can support talent attraction, retention, and workforce flexibility
  • WFA best practices
  • Compliance considerations for cross-border work
  • Creating a clear WFA policy
  • How HR teams can manage WFA arrangements
  • How connected workforce operations can support compliance

Interest in flexible work arrangements has grown significantly as employees increasingly expect greater choice over where they work. For employers, work from anywhere schemes can strengthen the employee value proposition, widen access to talent, and support more flexible workforce models.

However, allowing employees to work from another location or country involves more than approving remote access. Employers may need to consider employment law, payroll, tax exposure, immigration requirements, social security, worker classification, and local compliance obligations, depending on where the employee is working and for how long.

A successful WFA program therefore needs clear rules, defined approval processes, accurate workforce information, and visibility across HR, Finance, Legal, and payroll teams. Komp can support this operating model by connecting workforce information, payroll, EOR, contractor management, and compliance workflows, helping organizations manage distributed teams with greater consistency and oversight.
