Third Thursday Webinar: Global Workforce Compliance – What Every Employer Should Know

Webinar | 07.25.19, 8:00 AM EDT - 9:00 AM EDT

Please join us for the next edition of Third Thursday – Crowell & Moring’s Labor and Employment Update, a webinar series dedicated to helping our clients stay on top of developing law and emerging compliance issues.


Many companies that conduct business internationally become entangled in cross-border employment issues that often seem complicated because of the interaction between U.S. laws and potentially unfamiliar laws in the foreign country. In some cases, obligations may arise even when the company does not have “employees” on the ground. During this webinar, we will discuss circumstances in which companies may incur legal obligations abroad and common compliance issues for employers with workers in foreign countries. These topics will include the overlap of employment laws with issues such as anti-bribery laws, tax concerns, data privacy, and export controls. We will also summarize some options for engaging workers and some pitfalls to avoid when sending employees across borders.


This webinar will provide you with the basic tools to address any global workforce issues that may arise, whether your company is a newcomer to international business or an experienced multinational.


This webinar is scheduled for July 25, 2019, at 12:00 pm Eastern. We hope that you can join us and participate in a lively discussion of these issues.

As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors. ...
