Employees are now more mobile than ever before. If you have a business presence in more than one country you may well have employees who will present you with cross border issues. We will help you understand and deal with those issues. You may wish to:
- send UK employees on secondment
- transfer employees to your foreign subsidiary
- recruit foreign nationals to work in the UK
We have experience of advising on these issues and are used to working with employment specialists in foreign countries to provide the best solutions for you and your employees. Each of these situations will need a knowledge of UK employment law, foreign employment laws, immigration rules and taxation regulations. We are used to working with employment specialists in foreign countries to provide the best solution for you and your employees.
We can explain the tax treatment of employment and the tax advantages available to you, for example on the employment of foreign secondees.
Work experience/case studies:
- We advised a French company on the secondment of one of the UK based directors to their subsidiary in Singapore.
- We advised the Japanese parent company of a worldwide software group on the pension deficit in the pension scheme in their UK subsidiary.
- We advised a US company on the dismissal of their UK subsidiary's chief executive. This required assistance from our associates in France and the US. We successfully defended claims brought by the former chief executive in France and the UK.
