What Is Repatriation & Assignment Closure ?
Repatriation & Assignment Closure refers to the final stage of a global assignment when an employee completes their work in the host country and returns to their home country.
This process ensures that all legal, immigration, financial, and employment-related responsibilities are properly closed before and after the employee returns.

It means properly closing the assignment, completing legal steps, and supporting the employee as they return home.
