As an offshore business owner, it is important to understand the relevant labour law legislature which applies to your company’s jurisdiction. Labour law can be a complex and multi-faceted field to navigate, which requires expert advisors and consultants who are familiar with the regulations. To ensure smooth business operations and avoid unnecessary risks which could arise due to non-compliant labour practices, it is essential that your business has adequate labour law systems in place.
Labour Issues
There are many risks and issues which a business can face in relation to labour law and labour disputes. This is especially the case in a foreign jurisdiction if the laws and practices are not properly understood or adhered to. Some potential issues which need to be understood include:
- Contentious labour disputes and accusations about unfair dismissals or employment practices
- Fraudulent behaviour by employees
- Employment contracts, standard labour procedures and policies
- Data protection and confidentiality
- Employment issues arising out of business acquisitions or disposals
- Claims made by employees in relation to health, safety and fatal accidents
- Immigration issues and housing regulations – this can be especially relevant in the case of offshore company ownership
- Proper retrenchment and dismissal procedures
- Conducting effective HR and employment law training programmes
