Module 3 – CaseGlobalizationAssignment OverviewGlobal Compensation Issues The growing world economy has led to many more employees workinginternationally. As such, organizations with employees workingthroughout the world face some unique compensation dilemmas.Variation in laws, living costs, tax policies, and other factors allmust be considered in establishing the compensation for local employeesand managers, as well as managers and professionals brought in fromother countries.One significant global issue in compensation design is how tocompensate the employees from different countries.
