Not All Who Wander Are Lost: Managing Employee Relocation in the Era of Remote Work

American workers are on the move! According to one study, between 14 and 23 million Americans plan to relocate as a result of the opportunity for remote work presented by the shelter in place orders resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. But do employers know where their workers are? As the pandemic reaches the one-year mark, employers who hastily implemented mandatory remote work are faced with the reality that many of their employees have relocated to other jurisdictions – often without approval or any concrete plans to return. Most employment law requirements are based on the geographic location of the worker. When employees relocate, employers are confronted with a multitude of employment law compliance challenges, including:

• State income tax withholding
• Unemployment insurance
• Workers compensation
• Wage and hour law
• Training
• Leave and benefits
• International wandering and remote workers
• And more!

A multidisciplinary panel of Littler attorneys present a lively discussion of the current challenge of wandering workers, practical insights into the future of managing a remote workforce, and embracing flexibility without compromising compliance.
