British digital bank Zopa will allow its staff to work for up to 120 days a year overseas, making it one of the UK’s most flexible employers.
Zopa told staff they could work remotely abroad for an extended period without any change to their pay, in an expansion of its policy a year ago which allowed up to 90 days.
It has identified 13 countries — including Spain, Greece, Portugal, Italy, Bermuda and Barbados — where employees could base themselves without facing onerous tax, legal and right-to-work obstacles. It will also review other locations on request.
