Designated Countries
By default, every Marco user has a designated country, which affects their payroll calculation and payment currency.
If a staff member relocates overseas, managers have two options to manage the relocation in Marco:
Change the staff's designated country
Set the staff as an Expat
Expats in Marco
An Expat in Marco is a business expatriate employee who maintains a host and home country distinction for contractual and payroll purposes. Expats will have two designated countries in their Marco account.
For Expats, the host/home country distinction applies to:
Personal information
Employment information
Bank details
Leave balance
Pay items
However, Expats follow the default weekend policy and public holidays of their host country only, without a separate distinction for their home country.
Who Can Be Set as an Expat?
The following users can be designated as Expats in Marco:
Staff Only
Manager Only
Manager & Staff
Local vs. Foreigner Status
Each Marco user is also classified as either Local or Foreigner based on their designated country:
Local – Employees who do not require a work visa.
Foreigner – Employees who require a work visa.
Impact on Payroll
The local/foreigner status may influence payroll calculations. For example, if employer contributions are required only for local employees, payroll calculations will differ between local and non-local employees.
