There are fundamental changes to the UK’s immigration rules in the pipeline. These will result in a new immigration system applying to non-British and Irish citizens and will not just therefore mean changes to the existing provisions in respect of your recruitment of staff from outside the EEA but will also extend your institution’s compliance obligations to EEA nationals who have up until now have been exempt from the rules due to their right to freedom of movement

Central and eastern European HR - employment law in Hungary
Hungary has a very complex employment and labor law. There are lots of employment issues in Hungary where the law is silent, so court rulings shall be duly considered also in the day‑to‑day employment management. If the strict rules on termination are disregarded, unfair dismissal claims can result in awards of 12 months of salary or in certain cases compulsory reinstatement.
Central and eastern European HR - employment law in Russia
Russian employment law is highly regulated, overly formalistic and slow to change with a changing world. Labor disputes are not uncommon for large and small employers alike. Procedural precision from the moment a company is incorporated is critical. Russian laws are not impacted by directives of the European Union. Specific problems may arise when HR is not managed locally. HR management requires a deep knowledge of local rules.
Central and eastern European HR - employment law in the Czech Republic and Slovakia
Formerly a single country, the Czech and Slovak employment laws have drifted apart since the 90’s, while keeping many similar concepts. Similarities include vigorous protection of employees as the weaker party, strict formalities for hiring and difficult terminations with a risk of reinstatement and substantial compensation for the employee.
Central eastern European HR - employment law in Poland
While Polish employment law presents various challenges for employers in some areas, it is relatively straightforward in other areas. For example the employers may face difficulties in scope of organisation of working time, but dismissals may appear less problematic then in other neighbouring jurisdictions, as long as certain formal requirements are met.
Challenging times in the new regulatory regime – when and how to challenge the OfS
Two years in, the way OfS is exercising its powers is really starting to shape the sector. The dynamics between an institution and its regulators can be complicated but getting the relationship right is ever more critical for any institution to thrive. In this session we’ll take an overview of the regulatory landscape, review the recent case law and guidance on the way OfS is operating and consider when and how to exercise options for appeal, complaint and judicial challenge.
Dutch employment law training
Employee rights are well protected under Dutch law, especially in dismissal cases, but employers are able to swiftly adjust staff levels in their company due to changes in, for example a fluctuation in workload. A wide variety of options are available for employers to hire people in a flexible manner provided that the rules are used properly.
European HR - harmonising terms and conditions
Managing teams of people is challenging at the best of times. Working across European borders is even more difficult due to cultural and legal differences.
European HR - restructuring and redundancies across Europe
The COVID-19 crisis and the severe impact it is having on economies across the globe is forcing many businesses to consider restructuring their businesses to cut costs and adapt to the new economic and business landscape. Managing reorganisations is challenging at the best of times. Doing so in multiple jurisdictions which have heavily regulated employment law regimes that differ significantly in their approach is even more difficult.
German employment law training
Germany is a major trading partner for many countries throughout the world, not to mention the most important single market in the European Union.
How to effectively settle a dispute – what are the options for dispute resolution and what are the differences? - webinar
Alternative forms of dispute resolution are becoming ever more common. Encouraged by the courts and increasingly favoured by parties, options such as mediation, arbitration and adjudication are becoming more widely used. But what are the differences and what are the pros and cons? We’ll consider the options and also look at other settlement tactics including Part 36 and Calderbank offers; the factors which may influence tactics and what to use when.
Irish employment law training
The Irish and UK legal systems have many similarities. However, in an employment context those similarities can be deceptive.
