📌
Subject: Working Abroad Procedure DRI: @Mylene LAOT Last update: Q3 2022 Expiration date: Q3 2023

Definition

🌐 As a global remote-first company, Strapi encourages Strapiers to work from wherever they are most pleased!

Following some instructions, everyone can ask to work abroad (for less than 6 months in the year, due to legal and fiscal requirements). ❓ Working abroad: working from another location (country) from the one written in your contract.

NB 1: European and non-European citizen processes have to be different for legal reasons. NB 2: Non-European processes will be documented as soon as needed, as all cases have different legal requirements.

You must follow this process if you work from a different time zone.

How do I request a period of working abroad?

👉
Only for stays longer than 2 weeks and less than 6 months

You need to communicate it to your manager and the People Team and keep Strapi informed

Fill in a form request 1 month prior to my departure
❓Why one month before the departure?
Make sure you will get insured
If you are European and will have a stay in a European country
Get an optional insurance
Keep Strapi informed
I discuss it with my manager 1 month before at least (and before filling in the form) to ensure it will not have any impact on the teamwork
If I want to work at a different timezone, I identify the different meetings that could be impacted
I inform my team a few days before
I update my Google calendar, Slack and Whena.re (and Lever, if you recruit) with your time zone
I post on Slack in #chill-room
