Working From Abroad - Guidance For HR Professionals & People Managers

Introduction

After working from home became the norm for many employees during the pandemic, a lot of employers are embracing this as an opportunity to implement flexible working models. This will allow employees to continue to work away from the office for at least some of their working week.

The situation is then further complicated if an employee wishes to work in a different country on either a permanent or temporary basis.

This virtual classroom seminar will provide the key points to consider when an employee wishes to work abroad and the legal considerations that employers need to be aware of under English law.

This session will consider:

• The employment law implications if your staff want to work abroad and whether they could be subject to local employment laws
• What tax and social security implications may need to be considered
• What immigration restrictions may be in place
• What data protection implications may need to be considered
• How employers can protect the health and safety of their employees who are working abroad
• What additional support systems employers need to have in place to make this work long-term

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive session will cover the following:

• Recommendations on how to handle requests from staff who wish to work abroad
• Practical advice on how to make sure staff working abroad is commercially viable, including recommended contract and policy updates
