Webinar: Global Labor Mobility and Immigration, COVID-19 Challenges and Consequences

Tue. March 24, 2020 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm !

As COVID-19 disrupts communities around the world, managing global workforce mobility has become more difficult. Employers with U.S. operations are dealing with travel bans, closed borders, shut consulates, visa holders and other workers trapped abroad, and employees whose work authorizations in the U.S. are expiring but who cannot safely return home, all while trying to protect their workforces and maintain business continuity. Join us for a webinar that will discuss how best to navigate these challenges and other issues.

TOPICS:

• General immigration and compliance issues;
• The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) and travel restrictions;
• The consequences of closed government offices (USCIS field offices, U.S. consulates, etc.);
• Options for I-9 verification and E-Verify during quarantines/remote work situations;
• Remote work options and reduced work hours for different visa types;
• Impact on cap-subject H-1B petitions; and
• Pay and wage requirements for stranded workers.

• Jacob D. Cherry, Counsel, Atlanta, OGLETREE DEAKINS
• Jamie M. Dietz, Associate, Raleigh, OGLETREE DEAKINS
• Bernhard Mueller, Shareholder, Columbia, OGLETREE DEAKINS
