Episode description
Can employees pack up and work from anywhere?
With the rise of remote work spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a surge in digital nomads opting to work from abroad. But is it really feasible? What are the legal, logistical, and team challenges that come with it?
This follows after an employee who relocated to Finland for the duration of the ski season without telling her employer who then noticed when she saw ski slopes in her Team's background rather than her 'usual' office setup.
Our hosts discuss the legal considerations for both employees and employers, including tax implications, visa requirements, and compliance with local labour laws. Additionally, we'll examine the practical challenges such as time zone differences, maintaining productivity and communication across distances.
