Use Workation correctly
–
For example as an alternative
for salary increase

For us, workation is more than just moving the home office abroad or to a vacation spot.
For us, Workation = vacation environment + services + individual preferences + trainings + mindset + helpful tools + trust by employer.
We want to make Workation an experience for you professionally and privately.

1. Check if more than a handful of colleagues also want workation options. Because if it’s just you, it’s obviously harder to integrate the model into the business.
2. Trust: Trust is at the core of every relationship, including your relationship with your employer and supervisors. Have there already been any breaches of trust as a result of remote work? Did the home office make the company less efficient? If all the arguments around the topic of trust are positive, you have already clarified the most important core.
3. Speak up aggressively about wanting a few workation weeks.
4. Also ask for financial support for your workation. This financial support can also be an alternative to salary increases and/or based on training budgets, as workation also implies coaching in our packages.
5. Your employer is often still occupied and/or blocked by the following topics: Adjustment of the general conditions and employee contracts, insurance coverage, labor law, income tax law and much more. Documentation of smooth controlled workation participations also occupy the employer. This is not about controlling you – the employer has a duty of care to fulfill. At this point you can recommend us “work-live-travel”, ergo the wlt GmbH to your employer. We put this all together once.
6. A sentence we have heard more often: “Workation – that’s just home office on the beach. How does that help me as an employer if I allow my employee:s to do that?” And here, too, what makes us unique as a workstation provider comes into play: we are not simply concerned with relocating the home office abroad. We want to offer great accommodations with great workplaces and terrific services. With us you can not only pursue your passions, such as sports, yoga, hiking – no you can or should, through coaching, networking and workshops professional and private development. This supports your motivation and innovation power also to the advantage of your employer.

We help you find the right model to suit your own corporate culture. We advise and support in the areas of labor law, data protection, hybrid team management, tax law, among others, so that a workation model can be used in a compliance-compliant manner. We reduce long-term effort through automated interfaces for documentation & billing.

Case A) as an individual:

If you work at a company where there are no work-study options, but you still want to do work-study, your first step should be to talk to your direct supervisor. This is usually followed by further interviews with the HR department and your team. Often, the first issue is trust. Unfortunately, it gets complicated when it comes to the issue of effort to enable you a workstation stay. Because in this case it is always a matter of clarifying the individual case. This costs a lot of money internally in the HR department and often externally with lawyers and tax firms for a single person. But if you have clearance from your boss and HR, you’re already a few steps ahead. In most cases, the contract is then adjusted to regulate liabilities and obligations.

Case B) for All:

If your company considers the option of almost allowing workation to all employees, it makes much more sense in the long run. In this case, holistic frameworks and rules are usually expanded in the course of the company’s own compliance fundamentals. When setting up these rules, the following factors are sensibly recorded for all: Data protection, labor law, tax law, technology, software, insurance coverage, internal information chains, approved target countries. The final regulatory process is about how these frameworks have contractual validity. This can be implemented via works council agreements and/or supplementary agreements.
