Hiring employees and contractors: The basics

Despite the challenges of the past year, many businesses are still growing and hiring people. The logistics surrounding hiring always manages to raise a few questions, but, this period especially, sheds light on some new obstacles faced by companies looking to grow their team. For this reason, Höcker Advocaten is hosting an online webinar - specifically for TNW members - that will help answer any questions on the legal basics of hiring people through employment and an independent contractor’s agreement. 

They'll cover the following topics, among others:

• Employment contract and freelance contract: freedom of choice?
• Restrictive clauses (e.g. non-compete, confidentiality)
• Benefits (e.g. wages, holidays, remote working)

The approach of this webinar will be practical and to-the-point; there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
