Recorded event now available
The CLE webinar will offer guidance to counsel for multinational employers on identifying and addressing the complex issues that arise when assigning employees to locations outside of the United States. The panel will explain factors employers must consider when determining the optimal employment structure.
Description
Multinational employers evaluating cross-border employment structures must consider the impact of the selected arrangement on tax return filings, payroll and income reporting, tax withholding, immigration permits, benefits participation, and cost management.
When determining cross-border employment arrangements, businesses must decide who will be the employer, which employee benefits apply, and which employment laws apply, among other considerations.
Listen as our authoritative panel of employment attorneys with experience representing multinational employers discusses the difficult legal issues that arise when employees are assigned to locations outside of the U.S. The panel will analyze factors that employment counsel should consider when evaluating the options for structuring the employment agreement.
