Right People, Right Place, Right time - Navigating legal staffing structures across Asia Pacific webinar

Part One – our case study will focus on hiring local employees and the various staffing structures available. In particular we will take a look from the perspective of each of the jurisdictions on:

• Who is the employer in our scenarios posed? The current legal principles for determining the rights and obligations in respect of the various categories of staff from employee to consultants.
• Applying the legal principles to more complex business situations from recruitment process outsourcing to managed service provider staffing arrangements.
• A look at the local rules for dispatch or agency workers and issues surrounding co-employment.

Watch Part One here.

Part Two – our case study will focus on bringing in staff from outside of the jurisdiction and moving into or expanding operations in new markets:

• Immigration obligations for non-local staff including quotas and time-lines in practice
• What is legally possible, what entity structures are required and what are the risks if you need people on the ground before there is a local entity established.
• Using foreign law to avoid local employment law obligations and the extent to which this works.
• Bringing in talent on a short-term, secondment basis.
