Course Details
Consider the following conversation overheard in an HR department recently: “Oh by the way, Sarah from IT support who works from home has now changed her address to one in France – do we have to do anything?” The biggest single phenomenon in business in this decade has been the explosion in Working From Home (WFH). Suddenly companies have realised that employees could work from pretty much anywhere in the world. But what implications are there for the employer if an employee starts WFH in another country outside of the UK? The simple answer is “plenty” when it comes to considering the payroll and HR consequences of such a move. Running a payroll in another jurisdiction could prove to be expensive, complex and time consuming. Just saying “no” could be the safest thing to do, but can you afford to be as dogmatic in a world of full employment when talent is hard to come by?
In this course Tim Kelsey covers the following topics:
- Right to Work in the first place
- Social insurance liabilities and reporting obligations
- Income tax withholding and reporting obligations
- Permanent Establishment risk
- Employment law exposure and obligations
