Britain’s employment laws are some of the most liberal in Europe and the legislative red tape experienced when employing people in Britain is considerably less than elsewhere across the EU.
It is essential that professional advice is always sought for all aspects of employment law within the UK. While the detail of employment law is complex, there are a number of common elements to the employment framework that need to be considered when engaging employees, such as social security contributions, working hours and leave/holiday entitlement.
If you are a foreign national looking to invest, work or visit Britain on business there are a number of possible options for obtaining the necessary visas to conduct your business. Similarly, UK business people looking to employ foreign nationals should be aware of the relevant immigration laws that apply.
