Course Details

If your company is expanding overseas, you will need to fully appreciate the impact of local employment law on your employees and in turn what this might mean in terms of payroll outcomes. You might find that there are hidden premium rates, working time arrangements, holiday pay calculations and unexpected benefits that you will have to provide to your employees or track via payroll. 


All of this might add up to both significant costs and also lots of unplanned administration. One of the common mistakes made by companies when starting to work in another jurisdiction is that they can simply replicate what they do in the UK, when in fact you need to fully consider the true picture in the target country. 


Tim Kelsey’s 60-minute session runs through typical scenarios and will brief you on the sort of due diligence questions you should be asking if you find that you are opening operations in another country.


In particular, Tim considers: 

  • Basic employment law
  • Collective Bargaining Agreements
  • Payment of salary and deductions
  • Minimum wage
  • Payslips and other documents
  • Sickness and maternity
  • Annual leave
  • Posted Workers Directive within the EEA
