SUMMARY:Favouring expatriates: how companies can avoid claims of discrimi
 nation brought by local hires
DESCRIPTION:Multinational companies continue to send employees from their
  home country to overseas assignments. Those expatriates (sometimes know
 n as rotating staff) may or may not continue to be employed by the paren
 t company. In most cases\, however\, those employees receive benefits th
 at are different from locally hired employees. Those benefits may includ
 e higher levels of compensation\, allowances for sending their children 
 to private schools\, special travel allowances\, hardship allowances\, a
 nd other perquisites that local hires do not have access to. In addition
 \, in the event of a workforce reduction taking place at the location of
  assignment\, the expatriates are likely to be immune from termination. 
 These practices can result in claims of discrimination brought by local 
 employees. This panel will discuss typical benefits packages for expatri
 ates\, best practices for structuring the assignment in a way to avoid d
 iscrimination claims\, and how courts and employment tribunals have reso
 lved claims of discrimination based on these practices.
