Join us on Tuesday, October 3rd 2023, for Session 1: Resilient Self – Train The Inevitable at Grant Thornton in San Francisco.

In an ever-changing world where expectations to meet demands are high and faced with a level of uncertainty, developing, and training your resilience supports you to deal with this.

Join our webinar on 14 September 2023 at 12:30 p.m. BST when Squire Patton Boggs' Partners Annabel Mace and May Cheung will use their wealth of experience to address a range of scenarios, including:

• A sponsored employee occasionally works longer hours than those stated on their certificate of sponsorship. Is that an issue?
• A line manager has asked to second a sponsored employee to help out a client at its own offices. Is that allowed?
• You are carrying out an internal audit and notice that changes to the job titles, salaries and work location for sponsored employees have not been reported to the Home Office. Does this put the business at risk?
• The business needs to make redundancies, which may affect your sponsored employees. What should you think about?
• You find out that the entity that holds your sponsor licence has had a change in ownership, but it was more than 10 years ago. What are your obligations?
• You have been asked to find a role for the son of a board director who requires sponsorship. Can that be done?

There will also be time for an audience Q&A.

This webinar is aimed at anyone with responsibility for sponsored employees, including HR, global mobility and talent acquisition professionals (particularly from a compliance perspective), and in-house counsel, as well anyone holding authorising officer, key contact or Level 1 user responsibilities for their organisation’s worker sponsor licence.

If you are not able to attend live, there will be a recording of the event following but you will still need to register to receive the recording.
