The policies in this section apply to international employees only. Most policies in this section only address provisions that are specific or special for international employees; thus, international employees are expected to understand the broader policies, as well as these specifications. The policies and procedures outlined in the other sections of the Field Manual also apply to international employees, unless otherwise noted in this section. An "international employee" is an employee serving outside of the United States.
