In the third episode of our MEA Employment Law podcast series, our employment partners are joined by Barbara Henzen, Head of Tax and Corporate Services at KPMG, to discuss agile working and returning to the workplace.
As employers start asking employees to return to the workplace and as the summer months approach, employers are increasingly being asked by employees whether they can work remotely from outside of the UAE, KSA and Qatar and combine this with leave. The podcast discusses the legal frameworks around WFH and the issues surrounding operating a remote working policy, together with any surrounding issues of combining this with leave requests.
Rebecca will focus on the UAE, Sara will focus on KSA and Emma on Qatar. Barbara will speak about the tax and social security implications of remote working.

In the past year as businesses are forced to make headcount reductions, the staff remaining are key – both in terms of business continuity and the knowledge of the business and customers that they hold. An organisation doesn't want to see valuable resource and knowledge walk out the door and as a consequence, there has been an increased focus as employers seem more willing and open to take steps to protect their legitimate interests when a key employee leaves.
In the first episode of our MEA Employment Law podcast series on key employment issues across the Middle East & Africa region, employment partners Rebecca Ford, Sara Khoja and Emma Higham discuss the enforcement by employers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar of post-termination restrictions and protection of confidentiality.
Speakers: Rebecca Ford, Sara Khoja, Emma Higham
