Keeping compliant across countries is complex
Employment laws change often, and essential HR requirements can differ widely between jurisdictions. These include:
Minimum wage
Generally updated once a year, sometimes more
Overtime pay
Thresholds, multipliers, and exemptions differ between locations
Leave entitlements
Rules for sick, holiday, and parental leave change regularly
Work-from-home allowances
Tax and labour standards continue to change in many markets
Breaches of employment law result in businesses incurring more than $5 billion in costs each year
Non-compliance carries a high cost, with recurring penalties, settlements, and enforcement actions worldwide.
"Having to stay ahead of what's going on in five different countries is challenging. The information in Compliance Watchtower is succinct and easily digestible. It's probably one of the best compliance tools I have seen and used in quite a while."

Frequently asked questions
Yes, Compliance Watchtower is built to support businesses operating across multiple countries that use our Employer of Record and Payroll products. The platform delivers comprehensive HR compliance and employment law coverage — from legal updates to salary changes and benefits adjustments — customised to each location's specific legal requirements.
HR compliance is the set of processes that ensure an organisation follows the laws, regulations, and standards governing how employees are treated at work. It covers areas such as recruitment, workplace safety, wages and hours, anti-discrimination measures, and data protection.
The aim of HR compliance is to maintain a safe and fair workplace for employees while reducing the organisation's exposure to legal risk. Companies must keep up to date with legal requirements at national, state, and local levels, and implement policies and processes that consistently meet those standards across the organisation.
Effective HR compliance requires regular audits, accurate record-keeping, and timely updates to policies and procedures as laws change. It is an ongoing process that needs continuous attention and adjustment to keep pace with new legislation and evolving HR best practice.
By prioritising HR compliance, organisations reduce the risk of fines, penalties, and lawsuits, and foster a positive company culture that helps attract and retain top talent.
Employment law covers the legal rights and obligations between employers and people who perform work. It addresses many topics, including, but not limited to, anti- discrimination protections, labour relations, and minimum wage requirements. Employment law exists to promote fair treatment and safe working conditions, while setting out responsibilities and entitlements for both employers and employees.
A compliance issue occurs when an organisation fails to follow the legal statutes, regulations, standards, or ethical practices that apply to its operations.
Examples include breaches of employment laws, violations of data-protection rules, or failures to meet payroll reporting obligations.
Such issues may result in legal penalties, financial loss, reputational harm, and lower employee morale and customer trust.
Responding to them promptly and effectively is essential to protect a business's integrity and ongoing success.
Compliance Watchtower alerts cover a broad set of employment law updates, including mandatory salary increases, changes to leave entitlements, amendments to working hours, and updates to health and safety regulations. The aim is to track HR and employment law matters that could affect your global workforce.
Compliance Watchtower translates complex HR and legal changes into clear, actionable steps. It not only informs you what has changed but explains how those changes affect your operations and the actions required to remain compliant, streamlining the compliance process.
Remote uses advanced technology and a team of legal experts to monitor and analyse employment laws in real time across all the countries where Remote operates. This allows it to send prompt alerts and updates to your dashboard, helping you stay ahead in maintaining compliance.
Remote provides compliance updates and recommendations for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. If you are using Remote and need a more in-depth explanation, we recommend you consult a legal or HR professional for guidance tailored to your specific needs.
If you are a customer of Remote through our Employer of Record (EOR) or Payroll service, you can consult with our dedicated legal experts for additional guidance and clarification. Our team can provide personalised support to ensure your questions are fully answered.
Compliance Watchtower is included in Remote's Global HR Services, our product that helps companies centralise HR processes for employees across multiple countries.
Customers can also receive Compliance Watchtower updates for countries where they employ people through Remote's EOR or Payroll services.
