If there is an international aspect to an employment relationship, this can make things a lot more complex from a legal point of view. An internationals components is present when companies hire or lend employees from abroad, employ staff at a foreign branch or undertake a project abroad. Even if an employee temporarily goes to work across the border, the employment relationship takes on an international dimension.
We advise employers and employees in the Netherlands and abroad on international employment, outsourcing and the deployment of expats. We ensure that they know what to look out for, check whether contracts comply with international and European employment law or draw up such contracts. We advise on which law applies to the employment contract, which social security law the employee is subject to and what happens if that employee falls ill abroad. We help you consider the deployment of personnel for a foreign project or the use of a foreign temporary employment agency. Is there an international labour dispute? Litigation is sometimes necessary, and we have extensive experience in this area too.
