As Drexel University expands its global footprint through Global Hubs and international partnerships, student programs, research opportunities, and more, the need continues for a global workforce beyond our domestic model. Because of the myriad of implications related to home-country laws, taxes, employment benefits, insurance, safety, export controls, data security and privacy, etc., all work performed by individuals on behalf of the university must be pre-approved by the Global Work Review Committee.

For questions, please contact Katie Regetta, Director, HR Compliance and Co-Chair of the Global Work Review Committee at GlobalHR@drexel.edu.

Drexel University Global Work and/or Global System Access Request Form

The "Drexel University Global Work and/or Global System Access Request Form" is a required starting point for all requests for all individuals to work and/or have system access from outside the United States for any period of time. This form is not intended for current employee international business travel or international remote work for personal reasons.

Examples of when to use this "Drexel University Global Work and/or Global System Access Request Form":

• Your department has a need for a post-doctoral student to complete research in China for one year.
• Your department has a need for short-term work to be completed by a local expert in Nigeria that cannot be delivered through a Drexel employee traveling.
• Your spouse received a job offer in Spain and rather than leave Drexel, you're wondering if you can work remotely abroad on a indefinite basis?

This form is not intended for the following:

• International Business Travel: This form is not intended for Drexel employees (and non-employee associates) travelling for business purposes (i.e. conference, research). Please visit Drexel's Travel Registry for business travel: https://drexel.edu/global/travel-safety/travel-oversight/travel-approval/  
• International Remote Work for Personal Reasons: This form is not intended for Drexel employee (and non-employee associates) requests to work remotely abroad for a defined period of time for personal reasons (i.e. returning to home country for visa renewal, caring for ailing parent). However, this form is a required starting point for Drexel employees (and non-employee associates) wishing to relocate abroad (i.e. spousal relocation). Please visit Drexel's Travel Registry for requests to work remotely abroad: https://drexel.edu/global/travel-safety/travel-oversight/travel-approval/  

The submitted request will be reviewed by the core members of the Global Work Review Committee who may reach out for more information or consult with members of the broader committee. In order to identify potential risks, obligations, taxes, and other costs that may impact Drexel or the individual, this review is required before moving forward with global work and/or global system access.

Global workforce solutions include Independent Contractors, partnerships with third parties utilizing their payroll, “employer of record” (EOR) services, volunteer agreements, non-employee associates utilizing Drexel’s systems, and, in limited circumstances, remaining on Drexel’s payroll. In certain situations (i. e. work in a sanctioned country), the Global Work Review Committee may determine that no solution can be approved.

For questions, please contact GlobalHR@drexel.edu.
