Part of Invest Northern Ireland’s EU Exit Webinar Series.

The rights for European Economic Area (EEA) workers to work in the UK and UK workers to work in the European Union (EU) are changing. As an employer, you must understand the implications of these changes to your workforce and how they will affect your workforce planning.

In partnership with Invest NI, Jonathan Simpson from employment law specialists A&L Goodbody will deliver an hour-long webinar, explaining the current situation for EEA workers in the UK and the actions that are required to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme. He will cover changes to immigration rules from January 2021, the implications these will have on your business and what you can do to prepare. Jonathan will also take your questions.

You can submit your question at registration.
