Program Summary

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread adoption of teleworking, an increasing number of U.S. employees are interested in working abroad. Unfortunately, the law is not as flexible as technology. There are a number of potential legal pitfalls that can create risks for employers that permit employees to work from abroad, including work authorization, tax implications, risks to IP ownership, and more.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Immigration laws
  • Payroll tax
  • Employment law
  • Intellectual property
  • Permanent establishment/corporate tax

Agenda

I. Immigration laws – employees are legally required to have local work authorization, whether by citizenship/permanent residence or via a work visa | 2:00pm – 2:20pm

II. Payroll tax – income tax withholding and social security contribution obligations vary by country and the applicable treaty, if any | 2:20pm – 2:40pm

III. Employment law – employees could argue that local employment law applies, which typically offer far more extensive benefits and protections than they would have in the U.S | 2:40pm – 3:00pm

Break | 3:00pm – 3:10pm

IV. Intellectual property – an employee’s creating IP abroad could jeopardize an employer’s rights in that IP | 3:10pm – 3:25pm

V. Permanent establishment/corporate tax – the employee’s activities/length of stay could cause a U.S. company to create a permanent establishment locally and, in turn, have business registration and corporate tax obligations there | 3:25pm – 3:40pm
