The Asia Pacific Employment & Compensation team is pleased to provide you with our fourth quarterly update for 2020 highlighting key employment law changes across the Asia Pacific region.

Many jurisdictions are currently experiencing further waves of COVID-19 infections and many employees worldwide continue to work remotely from home. News of developments of COVID- 19 vaccines provides some optimism that a return to “normality” may be on the horizon in the not too distant future.

Please feel free to visit our Building a New Workforce Reality and FutureWorks sites designed to guide global employers on how to future-proof your workforce and to stay competitive in innovating and revolutionizing your working practices.

Please also see our Asia Pacific Employment and Compensation Webinar site and the Resilience, Recovery & Renewal: A Podcast Series for our latest webinars and podcasts in the region.

We also encourage you to contact your local Baker McKenzie contacts if you have any further questions relating to the information we have provided.
