Event Details: Imagine it's Friday 24 June 2016 and the UK has voted to leave the European Union. The European Union (the "EU") is a group of 28 countries, which exists to promote economic security, peace and stability. The EU operates as a single, free trading market, without customs duties between borders and it allows the UK and other EU citizens the right to travel, work and live in any other EU country. The likely exit of the UK is a big issue, not just within the UK or the EU but also across the world. The impact of the UK's exit will be far reaching on many facets, one of which will be the working lives of EU citizens. There will be repercussions for UK employers and their workforce, especially those employees who are nationals of other countries. In this interactive session, we will be discussing the implication on the rights of EU citizens to work in the UK and vice versa, focusing on: • The Free Movement of Persons which provides that there be no discrimination on account of nationality; • The Working Time Directive which limits the number of working hours, provides minimum daily rest periods and daily breaks, and yearly paid annual leave; and • The Human Rights Act 1998 that incorporates the rights in the European Convention on Human Rights. Participation This is a roundtable event. Attendees should come prepared to discuss the specific implications for their organisations and any preparation that they are considering or have put in place. We will consolidate our discussions with an overview of the policy and legal aspects of the UK's exit.
