Brian Sweigman at WLG's Crossing Borders: Remote Work Americas
Details
The pandemic forcefully introduced many companies and employees to remote work. Although many have returned to the office, many others are embracing the idea of remote work indefinitely, and employers and employees alike face a new set of challenges that come along with it. Permits and visas, tax implications, the type of work an individual performs, the type of employee an individual is classified as—all of these things impact companies hiring for and individuals performing remote work.
Brian Sweigman joins the World Law Group's panel to discuss the legal challenges of remote work in different regions.
