IMPACT – HIGH
What is the change? British voters head to the polls Thursday to vote on whether to “Leave” or “Remain” in the European Union.
What does the change mean? If the “Leave” campaign prevails, U.K. immigration policy will change and employers that rely on U.K. nationals working in Europe and European nationals in the U.K. will need to manage expectations immediately after the vote and strategize for potential disruption in the long term.
Background: The Brexit referendum is the culmination of long simmering political pressure by Eurosceptics. Immigration and the free movement of migrants, which come with EU membership, are at the heart of the debate and, as such, if Britain leaves the EU, more restrictive immigration measures will be introduced.
BAL Analysis: In the event of a “Leave” win, it is critical that employers immediately address their workforce and begin contingency planning as early as possible. Please click here to read BAL’s detailed analysis.
