Engaging Workers Living Abroad

Webinar Description

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. That is what so many entrepreneurs have chosen to do in recent months, owing to the currently limited recruitment pool available in Malta. And when such local pools do not yield enough, we tap into others further away. Among the most unexpected consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic was the immeasurable exodus of a significant portion of the local workforce. Therefore, the engagement of workers who reside abroad, and will continue to do so, is an ever-increasing phenomenon which can be observed among businesses for whom remote working is a possibility, a concept further enhanced during the onset of the pandemic. Since this form of engagement is largely new territory in local spheres, several businesses are thinking up various questions on matters of how to regulate their relationship with workers who live across national borders. Queries primarily arise as to the status of the individual – employee or contractor? What is the best way to regulate either one? What is the tax situation for both the employer and the employee? How should remuneration be regulated? All this and more will be dealt with during this exciting webinar, and participants will also be encouraged to voice concerns and share experiences with their fellow professionals.
