We greatly reduce the risk of operating internationally
Every well-run multinational organisation requires a set of essential support services to ensure it stays in tune with its complex of differing business environments and compliant with both professional standards and national laws. That is the essential role of FedEE®.
FedEE® offers a unique, high quality service not available elsewhere. We overlap to some extent with other professional services, but no truly effective multinational HR department could function without us. That is why we were established 30 years ago – by HR professionals, for HR professionals.
Many companies operate with in-house legal counsel to provide first-line support on compliance issues and specific legal problems. FedEE®’s principal role is to act as an extension of this service – but specialising exclusively on employment law and related issues. We also own trademark rights to the exclusive title Qualified Professional HR Counsel (QP-HR Counsel®) that only graduates of our Advanced Diploma may use.
Our experience in dealing with legal matters for a wide range of multinational organisations also means that our member companies can gain the benefit of our seasoned expertise. We also back up our guidance with a comprehensive knowledgebase covering 60+ jurisdictions that can be consulted on a 24/7 basis.
FedEE® therefore fills the gap between in-house resources and conventional external resources. We provide fast, first line support whenever you need to resolve an HR issue or wish for a reliable second opinion. Our knowledgebase is packed with employment law data, statistics, guidance notes, public holiday dates from around the world, pay projections, minimum wage rates and cost of living information – all backed up by a Worldwide legal helpline. We also have a proprietary job pricing system and monitor worldwide developments for our comprehensive fortnightly newswire. Senior HR professionals have the opportunity to network through our Fellows’ Meetings, may meet-up online or face-to-face through our ButN® forum and participate in our legal briefings and training courses.

Travel Warnings
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the significant risk of abduction and deception by taxi or even private hire services, the best practice for companies sending executives or professionals to countries where they do not have representatives is to arrange for a registered guide to meet visitors at airports or rail stations. This will add to the visit cost, but in some locations the daily cost of a guide can be relatively low. To secure a guide, we suggest that only those registered with a national association affiliated to the WFTGA be used. Official guide costs can range from US$18 in Indonesia, US$32 in India and US$52 in Columbia to US$137 in Prague, US$363 in Munich and US$369 in Tokyo. Airport pick-ups are a normal part of a guide’s service and many will also offer interpretation and secretarial assistance.

The Drug Dilemma
Employers across the USA continue to struggle with the rights and obligations dilemma about whether and how much they can control the use of marijuana in the workplace.
Although 31 US states permit its medical use, its recreational use is permitted in ten states (plus DC) and decriminalised in 13 others, it remains a schedule one substance and it is still technically unlawful to trade or consume it under federal law. But since 2014 the Rohrabacher–Blumenauer amendment has prevented federal authorities from fiscal interference with the application of state cannabis laws. The amendment must be reaffirmed each year and a DOJ memorandum on state freedoms in the matter was withdrawn earlier this year.
So where does this leave employers? Many still include the drug on their list of banned substances, but labour shortages are encouraging many to drop marijuana from the drug tests they require at the hiring stage. This is partly also because of successful prosecutions of employers in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island for withdrawing job offers due to positive tests for cannabis. Maine has also led the way in making it unlawful for employers to dismiss a worker for cannabis use outside the workplace.
Employers should, however, not forget that what applies to alcohol, also at least applies to marijuana – which is a far more dangerous and unpredictable intoxicant. Under OSH rules they must operate a workplace free from serious recognized hazards and one of the most serious hazards is the mental state of fellow employees. It will be unfashionable to take a hard line on residual marijuana levels in an employee’s bloodstream – but duty of care must come before popularity.

FedEE’s Brexit Solution
With the deadline for Brexit negotiations in October 2018 fast approaching the Federation of International Employers (FedEE) puts forward a realistic solution for the Brexit crisis which we hope will find support from both the UK Government and European Commission.
Both sides of the Brexit camp are not going to find any compromise – and certainly not any consensus for any substantive exit deal – over the near term.
The Chequers deal is not acceptable to Brussels, a fudge that could be worked out with Merkel and Macron would not resolve anything, it is too late to organise a fresh referendum and a “No Deal Brexit” would be a disaster both for the UK and EU economies. In fact, as soon as border control and customs officers are informed of an irregularity next March they will seal the UK border. All the alternatives currently on the table are therefore all unrealistic and unacceptable
What we wish to table is the only positive – and least damaging – way forwards. We propose that the UK negotiates an interim period of transition to allow a proper agreement with the European Union to be concluded. A lot of time has been wasted during the last year, but that is all water under the bridge. It is now up to sensible people to come forwards and make a play for a workable solution. What both parties need is more time. It is too late to stop the clock on Article 50, but not for an Interim Transitionary Period (ITP) until perhaps October 2019 or March 2020 at the latest. In the meantime, all the focus must be on the Irish border question.
We hope that decision makers everywhere will fall in behind this FedEE proposal. For further information about a “No Deal” Brexit please visit our ‘White Papers’ section below.

The Fluid Workforce
The Shape of Things to Come
There will be several important trends in the field of employment law over the next 3-5 years – and they will have a profound impact on employment levels and employability.
Litigation will be going underground as an increasing number of employment contracts contain mandatory arbitration clauses. There will therefore be less case law upon which to base legal opinion. It will also become lawful to include clauses prohibiting participation in “class action” law suits – this is already the case in the USA because of the recent case Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis – although there will be more laws preventing “gagging orders”.
There is already a great concern, particularly in Europe, for gender pay gap reporting. However, a new equal pay law in New Jersey has extended equal pay requirements to other protected characteristics – such as race, religion, sexual orientation and disability, as well as gender. This has huge consequences, particularly if the concept is taken up more generally by other jurisdictions. Another feature of both the New Jersey and recent Massachusetts Acts is the requirement for all companies to rate their jobs using a factor-based job evaluation scheme.
Company codes of practice already have a major part to play in corporate governance, but they are gradually taking over from HR policies as the basis for containing whistleblowing actions and terminating senior company executives.
How far travelling to a client is working time is still not settled law, even in the European Union where the European Court of Justice ruling in Tyco (C-266/14) seemed to have resolved the question. But two more recent French court cases have run counter to the ruling and the possibility that other work-related time – like commuting or staying away from home on a business trip – might have to be fully remunerated and counted against weekly working time limits could massively endanger company profitability.
