Global Words of Wisdom will be presented in a 2 part series. The first to be held on November 18th and the second in January 2021 (exact date TBC)
Part 1 will discuss the international tax, HR, employment law and payroll implications of having a workforce ‘working from anywhere’ in the wake of COVID-19
Part 2 will discuss the ‘new normal’ for international assignees between the US and UK, looking at that all important preparation: accommodation, relocation and immigration.
Part 1 – Employees Working From Anywhere
With the advancement and advantages of technology and connectivity, coupled with a global pandemic, many employers have seen a shift to a remote workforce. Employees are choosing to work from locations outside the country they were hired; choosing to return to their country of origin to be with family, live somewhere cheaper or migrate to their happy place, be it the mountains or the sea.
With bold claims in the headlines about tech companies allowing their workforce to be 100% remote, the flexibility and freedom that comes with location independence can be deeply appealing to your employees. But just how practical is the reality of these arrangements? And how does an employer meet the myriad of cross-border compliance obligations?
Join our vibrant panel as they unpack (pun intended):
considerations which may be overlooked when employees are working from anywhere;
remote working versus working from home;
the latest approach to building a scalable and practical Work From Anywhere policy; and
what’s ahead for flexible work locations and compliance.
Please join us on November 18th for what promises to be an informative panel discussion.
