How we approach global mobility & relocation

At MUI, we value Freedom and have intentionally structured our company to be able to hire people from all over the world. We believe incredible talent is everywhere — and remote work helps us to access people who have faced barriers to entry or marginalization in the world of work.

We aim to support relocation as much as possible for both business and personal reasons. This means that we support freedom of movement to the extent that it is in the best interest of our users to do such (and hence best interest of the business to do so).

Eligibility for relocation

Baseline

To be eligible for relocation, the following baseline conditions must be met:

• The existing ****employee must not be currently under a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP);
• The relocation must be compatible with the location needs of their current role. Certain positions, such as support and sales, may be location-sensitive due to timezone, geographical proximity to customers, or other factors. Other positions may be cost-sensitive due to their business economics and not compatible with high location factors.

But also, depending on the level of support requested or required:

Without MUI support

• The employment type must be Contractor. This is a technical constraint, as soon as MUI hires someone as an employee, it requires involvement from MUI, e.g., Visa research with EOR.

With MUI support

• New hires: We appreciate that people may be attracted to MUI as a distributed, remote-first company, and wonder if MUI is in a position to help them move to another country.

  At present, MUI does not provide any proactive visa sponsorship for individuals applying for new roles within the company. Candidates must already possess legal authorization to work in the country for which they’re applying to be considered for employment.

• Existing employees moving for personal reasons**:** We understand that people may wish to move to different places for a vast number of reasons during the course of their employment with us. Existing employees may be eligible for relocation support for personal reasons, subject to the following conditions:

  • The employee must have completed a minimum of one year of tenure at MUI (which would be inclusive of parental leave);
  • The cost of obtaining the necessary visa or work authorization will be the responsibility of the employee. However, MUI will provide support and assistance to the extent possible.

• Existing employees moving for business reasons**. /**
