Compliance
Both current permit holders and new applicants must meet the requirement.
Allowances and benefits
If the foreign national is on a home contract, the cost of living and housing allowances can be factored in, as long as they are sent to the foreign national’s bank account, paid monthly, taxable, handled through payroll, guaranteed, and set.
Reductions in pay
Except in the first and last month of employment or assignment, salary cannot be prorated.
Currency
Regardless of payroll location or currency fluctuations, the employer must ensure that salary payments match the EUR requirement.
