International secondments - contracts and visas

Who should attend

This international secondments training course is aimed at HR, lawyers and recruitment professionals who oversee international assignments. It covers legal and contractual issues only. We do not cover the practicalities of relocation and cultural adjustment.

Synopsis

A unique set of employment, immigration, social security and tax requirements must be considered when sending an individual employee to work abroad, or when bringing an employee into the UK. These briefings cover the suitability of different assignment structures, the importance of ‘for-purpose’ documentation, securing and protecting the immigration status of your migrant staff, conflict of laws and jurisdictional issues, and questions that arise at the end of an assignment.
