Greetings.

You should be able to modify your basic contract for the person you are dispatching overseas (outside the US) under your firm's auspices.

Whatever document you used to engage & sign up that person in the first place should include the relevant coverages, compensation program, and customary clauses and provisions for overseas work.

If that overseas work includes duty in a region or country that the US Government has declared as a "hazardous duty location" or "eminent danger situation" (i.e., Iraq, Jordan, Somalia, and Sudan apparently soon enough) then your contract with that deploying person must also include the now-standard coverages, protections, benefits and provisions required by the US law called the "Defense Base Act."

Hope this helps.

Regards,
