>But instead employees are given varying benefits, based on the laws of the country they work in.<p>I don't imagine so, but it is possible, are there any conflicts within the laws?<p>You would - of course - follow the letter of the law of the country you are working in before any 'standardization' you would do. Following the law is important.
