⚡ Ensuring the Authenticity of Expatriate Employees: A Guide for HR, Payroll, Reward, and Mobility Heads As a head of HR, Payroll, Reward, or Mobility, it’s crucial to verify the authenticity of expatriate employees to protect your organisation from fraud. Here are key steps to ensure you’re not being targeted by a fraudster: ✔ Verify Credentials: Check educational qualifications, previous employment, and certifications. Contact institutions and past employers directly. Use LinkedIn to cross-check work history and endorsements. 👷♀️ Conduct Thorough Interviews: Use video calls to assess body language and ask detailed questions about their experience. Look for inconsistencies in their story. 👨💻 Leverage Technology: Use biometric and digital identity verification tools to confirm authenticity. 📰 Check References: Speak to former supervisors or colleagues to verify work ethic and reliability. Be wary of references that seem too perfect or are hard to contact. 🖥 Monitor Online Presence: Review social media and professional profiles for consistency in their history. Be cautious if their online presence is sparse or conflicting. ⌛ Implement Probation Periods: Assess performance and verify credentials over time with a probation period. 👩🏫 Stay Informed: Educate yourself and your team about common scams and stay updated on trends. 👩⚖️ Conduct Legal Checks: Verify work permits, visas, and other legal documents with the help of legal professionals. 🤨 Trust Your Instincts: Investigate further if something feels off. It’s better to be cautious than to rush the hiring process and risk being scammed. By following these steps, you can reduce the risk of making payments to fraudulent employees and ensure your expatriate assignments are filled with trustworthy individuals.

Key Points: - Potential Delays: Work stoppages or slowdowns could impact cargo loading and unloading, affecting your timelines. - 💲 Increased Costs: Delays may result in additional storage fees and demurrage charges. - 🛣 Alternative Routes: Available options could also lead to further delays and costs. Recommendations: - Plan Ahead: Initiate the moving process early to manage potential delays effectively. - Stay Informed: Stay updated on ILA negotiations to make timely adjustments. - Flexible Scheduling: Incorporate flexibility into your schedule to accommodate unforeseen delays. - Professional Assistance: Seek guidance from experienced logistics professionals for expert support.
