June 17: COVID-19 Travel Disruptions Impact on Business Travelers, Executives and their Employers

COVID-19 has left visitors, business travelers, and executives stranded in their country of destination – be it in Europe or the United States – and potentially subjecting those individuals and their employers to that nation’s income tax. Likewise, employers confronted with stranded foreign employees on temporary missions must handle any consequences of over-staying a visa or a temporary work contract in compliance with immigration and employment laws. Some countries have relaxed some of these rules while others have yet to provide the necessary guidance.
Join Scott Bettridge, Chair, Immigration Practice, Cozen O'Connor, for a discussion of some of those situations and the various relief measures introduced and how they work. Scott will be taking a closer look at the implications for employers and individuals in the United States and Europe.
TOPICS COVERED:

• Taxation of Employers and Individuals
• What are the taxation rules in the United States?
• What are the current relief measures in the United States?
• What about Europe?
• Immigration
• What can I do if I am unable to depart the United States before my authorized period of admission expires?
• What are acceptable ‘business visitor’ activities?
• Due to the impact of COVID-19 on business operations, employers are dealing with layoffs, furloughs, or termination of employees. How does this impact employees on nonimmigrant work visas?
• I planned on going to the U.S. Consulate abroad to apply for a new visa stamp. Can I still go?
