“Over Here, Over There:” Transnational Issues in Employment Law

This seminar will explore aspects of US labor and employment law that sometimes do, and sometimes don’t, stop at the water’s edge. For just one example, a worker assigned outside our territorial boundaries isn’t entitled to overtime and other benefits of the Fair Labor Standards Act (though local laws may entitle them to other benefits and protections). We also will explore several nonimmigrant visa programs like the H-1A and H-1B that allow US employers to hire workers from outside the US for certain kinds of jobs. Who can use these visa programs, and when, and how? This issue has been in the news lately, and our experts will be on hand to answer your questions.
