Business Trips and Remote Work: Obligations and Risks

Business trips and remote work have become essential part of everyday practice for many employers, but they also entail a number of legal obligations and risks. What are an employer’s obligations during a business trip and in cases of remote work? How should a remote work agreement be properly drafted, and how can occupational safety, working time recording, and data protection be ensured? What legal and tax risks arise if an employee works from abroad? How can the risk of creating a permanent establishment be avoided in cases of remote work?

We invite you to participate in a webinar where answers to these and other important questions will be discussed.
