Internationale bedrijvigheid, zakenreizen en grensoverschrijdende arbeid zijn niet meer weg te denken uit de dynamische HR-wereld. Internationale mobiliteit betekent ook dat u met regels en wetgeving van andere landen te maken krijgt. Unieke uitdagingen en vragen brengt dat met zich mee.

Heeft u een buitenlandse werknemer die in Nederland komt werken? Dan moet u wellicht een werkvergunning aanvragen. In welke situaties is dit het geval? Wat zijn de risico’s indien u deze regelgeving niet volgt? Is uw kennis nog helemaal up-to-date, ook na de Brexit?

Natuurlijk krijgt u ook te maken met de arbeidsrechtelijke gevolgen van internationale tewerkstellingen. Voor welke contractvorm kiest u? Met welke specifieke wetgeving moet u rekening houden? En hoe zit het met ontslag in internationale situaties? Wij gaan in op al deze vraagstukken en maken ruimte voor praktijkvragen.

Op donderdag 10 oktober 2024 tussen 13:30 - 16:30 heten we u graag welkom bij onze LIMES academy in Valkenburg, bij Leiden. Tijdens dit seminar vertellen onze sprekers Wytske Wijnnobel en Jolanda de Groot u graag meer over de vele kansen, maar ook haken en ogen binnen het immigratievak.

Let op! Deze seminar wordt in het Nederlands gegeven.
