My software company is looking into possibly being in a contract with a company that is in Uganda. As per contract, if we are the software vendor, they must have someone from our company to support them on site in Uganda.
I have never dealt with overseas work, especially in hazardous areas. Can anyone give me a rough estimate of what I should expect/demand as a pay increase to work over there? Basically a yearly percentage increase is what I'm looking for.
As the company I work for has never dealt with a situation like this, they are not very sure on what to ask for in their side of the contract as far as cost increase on the client to cover the employee salary of who moves there.
I'm guessing I'm not wrong to expect housing and transportation to be a covered cost. I do know that the client will be providing security. I really just need to know what a realistic expectation for pay increase is.
