Hiring Contingent Workforce – Deep Dive into Unique Considerations in APAC Countries

Contingent workforce is here to stay, and on the rise. In the post-pandemic world with a shortage of resources, businesses are heavily relying on fulfilling talent gaps with nontraditional employment models including freelancers, on-demand and gig workers, independent contractors, consultants, agency workers, etc. The employment legal framework is usually not equipped to address the issues that come into play with these unconventional employment models. Additionally, governments are catching up to backfill the loopholes and enforcing rules to ensure that nontraditional workers are protected.

In this session, we will discuss how to navigate the legal minefield of a contingent workforce as you strive to grow your business leveraging the flexibility of this trending employment model. The webinar focuses on legal implications when hiring a contingent workforce in major APAC economies: India, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, South Korea, and Japan.
