W222-223
In-Person

Competencies: Leadership (Behavioral), Workplace (Technical)
Workplace Application:
Attendees will learn the compliance obligations, limitations and legal complications of long-term work-from-home arrangements for noncitizen employees.
As the reopening of businesses continues at a slow and erratic pace, companies are extending work-from-home arrangements and weighing permanent telework policies. Immigration regulations, however, have not contemplated long-term work-from-home policies, and employers remain obligated to stay in compliance with all requirements.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss compliance issues for companies with employees on work visas who are working remotely on a long-term basis or returning to work at a new location.
- Hear limitations and complications of teleworking employees under immigration and labor regulations.
