Join us for breakfast and an interactive panel discussion to discuss the rapidly developing legislation that is impacting all sectors and areas of workforce management within the UAE.

Our experienced panel, including Luke Tapp, Head of Employment at Pinsent Masons and representatives from the HR and inhouse community will ensure all attendees receive technical and practical insights on the recent developments in the employment relationship in the UAE.

The panel will focus on the following, but we will encourage discussion on all issues facing employers in the UAE in 2023:- The new UAE Labour Law one year in – what have we learnt and what are the major impacts in practice;

- Fixed term employment contracts – the term, the key characteristics, the impact of the local contract and the extension to the deadline;

- Emiratisation – penalties, quotas, skilled workers and initiatives; and

- Unemployment insurance – who qualifies, who registers, who is at risk.

 

Please note that this session will not be live-streamed.

On January 5, 2023, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to ban the use of non-compete covenants throughout the country.  The proposed rule, which would supersede all contrary state laws, is remarkable in its scope, including its sweeping definition of "non-compete clauses" that fall within the ban and its potential retroactive impact.
 
Please join ACC Northeast and Jackson Lewis P.C. attorneys to discuss the proposed rule, the process ahead, and what this all might mean for employers.
 
Topics:

  • Summary of the proposed rule and how we arrived at this point;
  • Potential impact of the proposed rule;
  • Next steps in the process;
  • Key takeaways for employers.

Please plan to register and invite your HR colleagues.
