[Abstract] The internationalization of companies has had the impact of increasing the trans-
ference of workers to foreign countries and, therefore, has made necessary the reinter-
pretation and some adjustments in the labor legal protection of these so-called expa-
triated or transferred workers. There are many questions that now arise about the best
legal protection to these workers, which are the following: 1) which are the labour prin-
ciples applicable to such cases? 2) Is the existing law applicable to expatriated workers?
3) How long does the employment contract of the expatriated worker last? 4) Among
the possibilities of suspension, interruption and extinction of the employment contract
of the expatriated worker, which is the best option? 5) Which is the wage perspective of
the expatriated worker
