Multi-national companies are increasingly looking to establish operations in Latin and South America. It is important to understand that the labor and employment laws often vary greatly from country to country in this region. Many of these jurisdictions have very complex legal requirements that aren’t that difficult to meet if companies understand upfront what is required. This webinar will focus on the most important issues that must be addressed when opening a new business and hiring workers in Latin and South America, including:
| • |
A practical overview of the most important legal requirements necessary when opening a new facility or office; |
| • |
How to establish successful employment relationships with local executives and workers and ways to minimize personnel conflicts that might otherwise arise; |
| • |
An overview of local labor costs and minimum legal requirements established in various jurisdictions throughout the region, including mandatory compensation and benefits and when certain employees are exempt from these requirements. |
You Are Invited to a Free 75-Minute Webinar
To help you and your colleagues better understand these important employment law-related issues, please join us for this informative webinar. The format will be a 60-minute “round-table” presentation followed by 15 minutes of questions and answers.
