Y2K
presents a problem on the adequacy of the software being used by
personnel
and human resources departments. More than this concern, however,
are the issues of whether to hire additional employees - on a permanent
or temporary basis - to meet the problems of Y2K and what form of
benefit
and compensation package to grant especially with respect to
highly-skilled
consultants, programmers and engineers who will be hired only for
this purpose. A question also arises on whether independent
contractors
should instead be engaged. And in case the latter option is
resorted
to, what should be the effect on copyright and other intellectual
property
rights on the resulting software or derivative products? Who
becomes
the owner thereof?
These
and other issues with far-reaching legal implications deserve to
be studied carefully.
