A team of experts from Cambridge law firm Stone King are to speak at a conference on the impact of Brexit on the coach and bus industry next week.
The Beyond Brexit: Moving People conference takes place on Thursday October 4 at the Volvo Theatre in Warwick.
Julie Moktadir, an immigration lawyer, will speak on immigration sponsorship, the current system for EEA nationals and free movement, plus employing overseas nationals.
Julie, a senior associate at Stone King’s Cambridge office, will be joined by colleague Laura Majewski, a HR Consultant, who’ll be explaining the impact on employers post-Brexit.
“As an employer, you have an important role to play in preventing illegal working by undertaking simple checks on your employees’ right to work in the UK,” says Laura.
“A right to work check consists of checking a document which is acceptable for demonstrating someone’s permission to work, and this needs to be done before you employ a person to ensure they are legally allowed to do the work in question for you.”
Laura stresses that checks must be carried out pre-employment, and that employers are responsible for follow-up checks on people with time-limited permission to work in the UK.
She will explain these checks and processes, as well as other HR matters for employees, at the Warwick event.
Peter Woodhouse, Head of Stone King’s business sector, has been assisting clients in employment matters since he qualified in 1991 and is regarded as a leader in the transport sector.
He will be speaking at the conference on employment issues, including the drafting of contractual rights and also terminating contracts for non-compliance.
Other speakers include Kurt Janson from the Tourism Alliance and Chris Yarsley from the Freight Transport Association.
Tickets for the day-long conference cost £99 plus VAT, for more or to book www.busandcoachbuyer.com
