Littler Mendelson, P.C. is pleased to host complimentary webinars focusing on the laws of countries where multinational employers increasingly face workforce management issues.

Global mobility is not just a buzz word, it’s a way of life in many companies today.  Whether your company is taking its first steps into employment across national borders or has established procedures for doing so, this webinar is designed to provide a useful and quick assessment of the concerns and issues typically associated with global mobility programs.  Failure to periodically assess a company’s practices in this area can result in unintended liabilities, taxation, litigation, or penalties.

The discussion will include the following topics:

  • General policy development  and administration concerns, as well as enforcement of global codes of conduct
  • Structuring the assignment and transfer of employees across borders, including secondment versus local hire
  • Choosing the best candidate for an international assignment
  • Strategic planning regarding residency and work authorization issues
  • Tax planning and the impact of international employment on benefits and benefits administration
  • Preparing the candidate prior to the assignment, providing resources during the assignment, and planning ahead for transition when the assignment concludes

Presenters:

  • Johan Lubbe, U.S. Practice Co-Chair, International Employment Law Practice Group (Littler, New York, NY)
  • Steven Friedman, Chair, Employee Benefits Practice Group (Littler, New York, NY)
  • Ian Macdonald, Co-Chair, Immigration & Global Migration Practice Group (Littler, Atlanta, GA)
  • Trent Sutton, Member, International Employment Law Practice Group (Littler, Rochester, NY)
  • Don Carter, Vice President of Human Resources, E.ON Climate & Renewables, N.A.
