With our global economy, more and more U.S. employees are sent to work abroad. This is often a very exciting opportunity for employees but oftentimes requires a lot of preparation and paperwork, from visas to contracts.
Expatriate employees have distinctive needs and employment abroad entails unique issues, such as a potential conflict between U.S. employment law and the laws of the foreign country. Additional issues such as relocation, compensation to offset any cost differentials, home leaves, adjustment or cultural support, are unique to the expatriate employment situation. To address these needs and potential conflicts, employers and employees often enter into an overseas employment contract.
Case + Sedey, LLC can assist in negotiating and drafting an agreement to protect the employee’s rights while abroad before any problems arise as well as the employee’s rights upon repatriation.
Should a problem arise, Case + Sedey, LLC vigorously fights for the employee’s rights. In addition to representing U.S. employees abroad, we also advise foreign-born employees on their rights in the workplace here.
