Imperial is a UK-based university with a global outlook. Whilst there is increased opportunities and interest from staff to work remotely overseas, this is a complex regulatory landscape and can involve tax, Right to Work and safety risks.

The enhanced service streamlines the support, request and decision outcome process for your overseas working plans before you travel.   

  • The staff member planning to work overseas should first secure their Line Manager’s support for their plans, before submitting their own overseas working request.
  • Line Managers are responsible for discussing with the staff member whether the overseas working opportunity and plans are supported by the department.
  • Final Approvers are responsible for request outcomes for medium and high-risk requests.
