Employing overseas workers brings many hidden challenges for employers of all sizes, and once again Jelf aims to lift the lid on this complex area with another informative, useful and fun event. Our expert and entertaining panel for this important seminar includes:
- An insight into the complex world of International Employment Law from Jon Heuvel, a true expert on this key topic.
- Doug Rice will undertake a review of how Employee Benefits and Wellbeing for overseas employees could be influenced by the outcome of the EU referendum.
- A special guest speaker in Ian Moore, comedian, author and overseas resident who will provide a useful and fun perspective on living and working abroad!
Our chairman for this important event will be Steve Herbert.
We also have a superb venue for our delegates to enjoy in The Army & Navy Club (affectionately known as 'The Rag') – an exclusive private members club in Central London. The club was founded for former and serving officers of the British & Commonwealth Armed Services, and has been situated at its Pall Mall address since 1851. This unique venue is easily accessible via public transport.

09:40: Opening comments
09:45: Cross-border HR & Employment Law: Same Thing, Only Different
With the EU referendum just around the corner, there is no better time to explore the link between employment law as we know it and membership of the EU. Is it really the case that Brexit would spell the end of employee rights in the UK as we currently know them? Will it become much harder for multinational HR teams to deal with the day-to-day issues affecting employees in more than one country if Britain leaves the EU? As global chair of the Multilaw Employment Group and employment partner at Penningtons Manches LLP, Jon is well placed to advise delegates on this important topic. This session will include employment law updates where relevant.
Speaker: Jon Heuvel, Partner, Penningtons Manches LLP
10:15: International Employee Benefits: Brexit: Wellbeing or not Wellbeing?
Less than seven days after our event the polls will open for the long-awaited EU referendum. Doug Rice will take an objective look at the implications of either a 'remain' or 'leave' outcome from the poll for the world of wellbeing and international employee benefits. This is an often overlooked – yet hugely important – topic for organisations with employees based overseas.
Speaker: Doug Rice, Managing Director, Jelf International
10:45: Delegate voting
10:55: Break/Coffee/Networking
11:20: Comedy: A comic look at living and working abroad
It is so easy for employers to underestimate the challenges for employees who are required to live and work abroad. So to end our session on an upbeat and fun note, we are delighted to welcome acclaimed comedian, author, chutney maker, mod – and resident of France – Ian Moore to provide us with a humorous look at this issue. Ian is one of the UK’s best known comedians, and is a regular on TV, radio and in the print media. He has written extensively about his family life in France in his books in A la Mod: My So-Called Tranquil Family Life in Rural France and C’est Modnifique: The Adventures of an English Grump in Rural France. This is sure to be an entertaining and enlightening end to our event.
Speaker: Ian Moore, International Comedian & Author
