Work / Salary indication job in Poland [44]
Hi Solalice,
based on my personnel experience as an Expat in WAW in a manager position, your Expat contract should include the following concepts:
Your current base salary, (the same as before relocation or higher if relocation implies promotion). Important to highlight that normally Expat contracts are always negotiated on net basis (net salary), due to different tax systems country of origin and destination. On top of the NET base salary:
Expat bonus: relocation between countries within EU: +10-15% on NET base salary; relocation between EU and non-EU countries +20-25% on NET base salary.
Cost of living adjustments: calculation done normally by an external consulting company, which is measuring cost of living index origin, compared with cost of living index destination (food, transport, rents,..).
Income tax compensation: Comparing income tax to be paid in origin and to be paid at destination to ensure the negotiated NET base salary.
Reimbursement of costs for moving your stuff to Poland.
Private medical insurance for you and your familiy.
Private school for your children if applicable.
Fly backs, at least two a year.
Flat/house paid by your company.
Company car.
Polish language classes.
But all of the above, depends:
1.) Kind of position (for a manager position as you mention should be applicable).
2.) Your country of origin
3.) Age and experience
4.) The most important, your negotiation skills.
In any case, and as it is the first relocation for you, don't be too demanding. Your company is investing in you for the future and this is a great opportunity for you not only from a business point of view, but for you personally too (new culture, language,..).
Hope I could help you a little bit.
Cheers
