Jonathan Bench speaks with Kato Aerts, a Belgium-based partner at Lydian and international employment lawyer, about the evolving realities of EU employment law amid remote work and cross-border teams. Kato breaks down choice-of-law and mandatory protections, contrasts termination regimes in Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, and unpacks practical guidance on expatriate assignments vs. temporary secondments. They also explore workations and digital nomads, gig-economy and influencer/child-labor questions, migration-driven diversity and rising discrimination claims, Brexit-era permit timelines, and the legal and ethical implications of AI in hiring and training.

Kato explains the complex interplay of employment, tax, and social security regulations across borders, differences in termination and employee protections within the EU, and why early legal planning is essential for global workforce management. Aerts also examines trends in migration, discrimination, and workplace diversity, the implications of Brexit for UK workers, and the emerging ethical and legal challenges posed by AI in hiring and performance management.
With her insights from decades of advising global clients, Kato highlights how employment law must evolve to match the modern, mobile, and tech-driven workforce.
