General guidelines are that you are expected to work US hours while abroad and that you will pick a time zone that is least disruptive to your team, however, please partner with your manager to arrange a schedule that works best.

Important:

Understand that due to the complexities of international travel, you cannot expressly enter a country and indicate that you are there to work; your primary reason is vacation and disconnecting.

Some countries impose strict rules. To help protect our company and customer information, our policies prohibit taking corporate owned devices to the sanctioned countries listed,

Intl Travel Must-Do's

Do your due diligence

Employees must do their due diligence to understand their country of travel’s visa policy and covid protocol. It is your responsibility to comply with the country-specific visa needs. Plan your trip around the length of stay mandated by your visa. Be mindful that travel bans can be instituted with little notice. You can reference this website for any

travel advisories

⁠

Health Care Coverage

Your healthcare coverage may be limited or non-existent abroad. Please email [contact] to verify your coverage for your country of travel and if relevant, we recommend looking into travel insurance for health care coverage. This will not be eligible for reimbursement as it falls under personal travel.

Valid Passport

To enter most countries your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry, even if you’re only staying for a few days. Border guards may refuse entry if your passport doesn’t have enough blank pages available. If you are reaching the end of your passport pages, get more pages added before you travel or apply for a new passport.
