I work for a business employing c.450 people predominantly UK based. WE are gradually increasign in Europe with offices in Spain, France, Holland and Germany and I am responsible for providing at least basic HR support for these countries.

I am wondering if there are some contacts that have experience in these areas, particularly with regard to reward and employment polocies.

For instance we need our UK expenses policy converting to German, both in terms of language (fairly easy) and compliance with German practice (not so easy).

In addition I understand that in some countries you are required to possess different tyres for the winter months, yet I have no idea how to go about setting such an arrangement up.

Further we need to supply a Spanish employee with life assurance equal to 2x salary and private healthcare.

I am hoping that someone can put me in touch with a contact in each country or preferably a consultancy in this country which are reliable and have experience of HR administaion in each of these countries.
