Average tool, very good service!

- Response time is the thing I notice most. Every request I've raised has come back within the promised window, and in practice usually faster. A recent example: Latvian law requires a mandatory occupational health check every three years, it's a paid service, and I had no idea how reimbursement worked. I asked and had every answer inside one working day, did the check, and got written confirmation the cost is covered. - They own the local legal complexity instead of handing it back to me. Occupational safety paperwork, health checks, expense rules — the team knows the Latvian specifics and answers from that knowledge. I've never had to research a local requirement myself and then explain it to my own provider, which is not something I could say about my previous setup. - They took responsibility for problems they inherited. When my contract moved over to a direct WorkMotion arrangement, there were unresolved items left from the previous structure. WorkMotion picked them up and covered them at their own expense, without me having to chase or escalate anything.
Was gefällt dir nicht?
- The platform itself is the weakest part of the product. It's functional and does what it must — payslips, requests, documents — but the interface feels unfinished in places and there's clearly room to develop it further. It has never blocked me, but it isn't why I'd recommend the service. - Country-specific rules aren't documented anywhere I can read them. Every local question starts with a ticket, and while the answers are fast and correct, the knowledge lives with the agents rather than in the product. A short Latvia-specific knowledge base covering health checks, reimbursements and safety requirements would remove most of my requests entirely. - Less common cases don't have a defined procedure. I hit one where the obligation itself was confirmed in writing, but there was no internal process and no stated limit for it, so it turned into a back-and-forth about expected costs before anything could move. For routine things the process is clear; for edge cases it depends on who you ask and how you ask.

- It makes a cross-border role legally possible at all. The company I work for is based in Germany and has no entity in Latvia, and opening a branch here for a single engineer was never realistic. WorkMotion is the structure that lets me be employed locally under a normal Latvian contract while working for a German employer — without it this position simply wouldn't exist in this form. - It keeps me on employee status rather than a contractor workaround. Paid leave, sick leave, state social insurance and pension contributions all accrue the way they would in any ordinary local job. Most cross-border arrangements I've seen quietly trade those away for invoicing convenience, and that trade lands entirely on the person, not the company. - It removes statutory obligations from my desk. Payroll, tax withholding, occupational safety registration, mandatory health checks — all of it is somebody's actual job rather than something I have to track and remember. I get told what's required and when, which is the difference between compliance being handled and compliance being my hobby.
