Due to limitations on international travel brought on by COVID-19, situations have continuously emerged where U.S. employers must engage the services of an overseas employee working remotely. There are, however, logistical challenges and legal compliances that could cause potential problems for employers. Concerns especially arise when involving the employment of a telecommuter from a country where the employer does not do business and does not possess a taxpayer ID number with which to issue payroll.
In this practical webinar, you will evaluate best practices and strategies for structuring arrangements for overseas telecommuting employees, and examine various international telecommuting contexts and scenarios. You will also explore possible challenges when structuring a transnational telecommuting arrangement, including new challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Upon course completion, you will be able to:
- Structure an effective arrangement for overseas telecommuting employees during COVID-19
- Distinguish between the pros and cons for each of the 5 Ways to Structure Transnational Telecommuting Arrangements
- Determine the best strategy for structuring the arrangement based on the needs of your client or organization
- Anticipate challenges that may arise when structuring transnational telecommuting arrangements
