Reductions in force rarely stay in one jurisdiction. When a restructuring touches China and Latin America at the same time, a single business decision has to be executed under four different legal regimes — each with its own notice periods, severance rules, consultation and notification duties, and level of union or employee-representative involvement. In this on-demand webinar, Employment Law Alliance practitioners from China, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico set out what it actually takes to plan and carry out a layoff across these markets. Drawing on their experience guiding multinational employers through restructurings, the panel focuses on the practical issues that most often derail cross-border projects, and on how to sequence the process so that one jurisdiction's timetable does not put another at risk. What the session covers The circumstances in which employers can lawfully make redundancies in each jurisdiction Whether employers must consider redeployment, alternative roles or shift adjustments before dismissing The process to follow before making redundancies, including notice, severance and compensation, and mediation or negotiation where required The role of unions and employee representatives, and how collective or group-dismissal rules change the timeline Documentation, timing and cross-border coordination when several jurisdictions are in scope at once Remedies available to employees if the employer breaches its obligations — and the exposure that follows Who should watch: in-house counsel, HR and labour relations leaders, and global mobility and restructuring teams managing workforce reductions in China, Brazil, Colombia or Mexico — or planning a multi-jurisdiction programme that includes them. This program is the third session in our Layoff Series.

Mexico's proposed workweek reduction marks one of the most significant labor law developments in recent years.
