Salary Adjustment When Working Remotely [closed]

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I am lebanese, residing in Lebanon and will be working remotely to my Employer's German office while cashing my salary every month from Lebanon. This means that my employer's office in Germany will be transferring my salary every month to Lebanon office so that they can pay me.

I will be travelling to Germany frequently where my employer will be paying for my travel expenses and accommodation. The challenge here is that German employees are much better paid than Lebanon ones (different cost of living). Can I request a salary increase though I would technically not be a german employee, but still paid out of Germany (as if it's an expense)? It is worth mentioning that working remotely for the German office is based on my request and not my employers to gain more experience in the European market and for career progression.

It is likely that the employer will give you a per diem payment for the travel days, rather than adjust your base salary. But the details will be specific to your particular employer.
