What is perhaps a bit less clear is the legality of practices such as this.<\/p>\n<p>This webinar will cover the following topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How to find and hold on to employees at a time of substantial labour shortage worldwide. Which signing bonuses are legally permitted?<\/li>\n<li>The Gig Economy and the importance of defining employment\/freelance status \u2013 both for employers, as well as for employees.<\/li>\n<li>Future trends in the job market \u2013 are these shortages a transient phenomenon, or are they here to stay? What can employers do to be prepared for this new era where our relationships with our jobs are changed?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This webinar will discuss the latest trends in the marketplace so that employers and employees can better understand each other.<\/p>\n<p>The second topic that we will examine in this webinar is the work-related challenges in the Gig Economy and the importance of having correct qualifications for the workforce. This topic is no longer limited to Uber and Deliveroo platforms. The use of freelancers for reasonably simple tasks comes with labour law liabilities that can lead to substantial arrear payments in wages and social security contributions.<\/p>\n<p>Can employers still hire freelancers? And if so, what is the ideal ratio of freelancers to permanent workers, and what happens once this ratio is exceeded?<\/p>\n<p>Join our discussion now by registering and participating in our quick survey. On the day, you will not only hear select legal experts share their perspectives and experiences with the Gig Economy, but we will also reveal and provide an analysis of our survey results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the aftermath of what has been known as &#8216;The Great Resignation&#8217;, employers worldwide are finding it increasingly more challenging to find employees.
