No Longer Required To Work In The UK

Your employer has indicated that they no longer require you to work in the UK – what should you think about?

It is possible that your employer might look to end your current UK working arrangements, whether temporarily (e.g., seconding you to another country) or for good (e.g., terminating your employment). Here are the key points for you to consider in either scenario.

Secondments

Overseas secondments are common within international organisations, especially for senior level staff. Generally speaking, you (as a secondee) would remain employed by your current employer, albeit seconded to work for a group company in another country (the "host employer"); you should be asked to sign a secondment agreement, detailing the relevant terms.
