Now more than ever, multinational corporations need to streamline operations and maximize talent across national borders. But this territory is more complex than ever. Much like the differences in state and national employment and labor law here in the US, there is little uniformity in how labor and employment issues are addressed abroad. What works in Belgium, might not in India or Brazil.
This makes compliance all that more challenging.
To assist HR professionals with international workforce management challenges, we are proud to offer the International Labor & Employment Law Database.
Covering over 25 countries, the International Labor & Employment Law
Database helps employers navigate through foreign employment laws and
international labor relations issues, and to apply corporate policies on a global basis.
The information for each country is provided by a firm known for its high degree of expertise in the
employment and labor laws of the country and edited by the attorneys of
Littler Mendelson, the nation’s largest labor and employment law firm representing
employers.
The information is organized in a question and answer format. The questions are organized into a
series of topics that logically follow the employment cycle. This organization makes
it easy to quickly access a single topic or question and to compare responses across
several countries.
If your business has international operations and you need help answering compliance questions,
the International Database is a valuable tool for you.
The information included in the database is not a substitute for legal counsel and does not provide
legal advice. However, those involved in the management of workforce abroad or involved in ongoing disputes
and litigation will find the information extremely useful and relevant.
