Expatriate Benefit Shopping List
The following shopping list is not exhaustive but it does reflect benefits most likely to be found in an expatriate package. Remember, whether you are the prospective expatriate employee or the sponsoring employer, the single most important characteristic of the assignment is that the indigenous people not be capable of doing it.

When the job can be done by "locals," the North American expatriate is generally paid far more than the local rate and, thus, too much. Failure is virtually guaranteed.

The other way to bring failure is to fail to recognize the burdens of a foreign environment. Bonus and performance goals should be relaxed and more easily attainable compared to the home country at least for the first 12 months.
