According to EU PSD2, an intermediary who simply makes payment on behalf of one party to another party may require authorization. Takeaway: EU PSD2 could impact an MSP’s ability to act as a payment intermediary in EMEA client engagements. Watch for updates about required adjustments, particularly related to automated solutions that currently provide payment speed and accuracy benefits for MSP clients and suppliers alike. ### North America --- [Canadian Ruling Accounts for Past Contractor Status When Releasing an Employee](https://learn.allegisglobalsolutions.com/compliance_monitor/october2019/canadian-ruling-accounts-for-past-contractor-status-when-releasing-an-employee?hsLang=fr) [California Privacy Law Will Carry Responsibilities for Employers](https://learn.allegisglobalsolutions.com/compliance_monitor/october2019/california-privacy-law-will-carry-responsibilities-for-employers?hsLang=fr) [Marijuana Legalization Begins a Possible Employment Screening Trend](https://learn.allegisglobalsolutions.com/compliance_monitor/october2019/marijuana-legalization-begins-a-possible-employment-screening-trend?hsLang=fr) [Dynamex’s ABC Test for Contractor Misclassification Codified Into Law](https://learn.allegisglobalsolutions.com/compliance_monitor/october2019/dynamexs-abc-test-for-contractor-misclassification-may-apply-retroactively?hsLang=fr) [State and Local Jurisdictions Implement Salary History Bans](https://learn.allegisglobalsolutions.com/compliance_monitor/october2019/state-and-local-jurisdictions-implement-salary-history-bans?hsLang=fr) [Court Upholds Web Sourcing of Candidate Data … for Now](https://learn.allegisglobalsolutions.com/compliance_monitor/october2019/court-upholds-web-sourcing-of-candidate-data?hsLang=fr) ### EMEA --- [Private UK Companies Will Not Be Exempt from IR35](https://learn.allegisglobalsolutions.com/compliance_monitor/october2019/private-uk-companies-will-not-be-exempt-from-ir35?hsLang=fr) [Gig Economy Employers Navigate Germany’s Temporary Employment Act](https://learn.allegisglobalsolutions.com/compliance_monitor/october2019/gig-economy-employers-navigate-germanys-temporary-employment-act?hsLang=fr) [Spain and the Netherlands Highlight Pay and Classification Priorities for Flexible Workers](https://learn.allegisglobalsolutions.com/compliance_monitor/october2019/spain-and-the-netherlands-highlight-pay-and-classification-priorities-for-flexible-workers?hsLang=fr) ### APAC --- [China to Relax Immigration Rules](https://learn.allegisglobalsolutions.com/compliance_monitor/october2019/china-to-relax-immigration-rules?hsLang=fr) [Japan Sets Equal Pay for Equal Work Guidelines for Engaging Temporary Workers](https://learn.allegisglobalsolutions.com/compliance_monitor/october2019/japan-sets-equal-pay-for-equal-work-guidelines-for-engaging-temporary-workers?hsLang=fr) *This update contains general information only, and AGS is not rendering legal advice.
