Labour and Employee Benefits 2009/10

The PLC Cross-border Labour and Employee Benefits Handbook is a multi-jurisdictional guide that brings together practical information on topical cross-border labour and employee benefits issues, country-specific Q&A on labour law and practice, and details of recommended labour lawyers and law firms in jurisdictions around the world.

In each country-specific Q&A, a standard set of questions relating to labour and employee benefits law and practice is answered by a leading law firm recommended for its labour expertise in that jurisdiction following independent research carried out by PLC Which lawyer?

The Q&A guide aims to give a structured overview of the key practical issues including, for example, the scope of statutory protection, the rules on employing people and terms of employment, temporary and agency workers, dismissals and redundancies, taxation, employers' liability, the rules that apply on major transactions, pensions, bonuses, intellectual property and restraint of trade agreements. In addition, answers to questions can be compared across a number of jurisdictions to assist in the management of cross-border transactions (see Country Q&A tool).
