International Employment Law 2016
New York City and Live Webcast, June 9, 2016
Multinational employers must grapple with often conflicting standards for hiring,
retaining, disciplining, and terminating employees. Global employers increasingly want
global solutions to issues like diversity, background checks, working time, and medical
examinations. This program brings together highly experienced and sophisticated
practitioners, in-house counsel, and senior human resources executives from around
the globe. They will present, in a practical way, how best to advise the multinational
employer on these critical issues.
What’s on the Agenda
Cross-Border/Multi-Country Acquisitions:
Legal Overview and Best Practices
• Due diligence
• Global background checks: how little (or how much) can domestic and global
companies find out about applicants and employees?
• Site visits
• Connecting with HR
Global Mobility and Employment Agreements
• The challenges for global companies: different countries, different rules
• Documentation: assignment agreements, secondment agreements, policies
• Common (and not-so-common) tax and social security challenges
• Compensation and benefits coordination
Global Diversity and Quotas: Women on Boards, in the C-Suites and
Other Senior Roles
