Overview

As the Coronavirus spreads, employers are finding themselves in a conundrums that seem to grow exponentially, along with the disease. Decisions about working remotely, evaluating potential workplace hazards, and responding to employee concerns and maintaining business operations are just a few of the issues confronting employers. 

In addition to the above issues, in this webinar we will discuss an employer’s legal obligations in the face of the pandemic and provide some practical guidance for dealing with crisis.

Why you should Attend

The Coronavirus may have brought much of the world as we know it to a temporary halt. Employment laws, and employers’ obligations, however, are not on hold. 

Employers still have an obligation to provide their employees a safe, workplace, free of harassment and discrimination. Employers are still required to make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities. 

But how does an employer meet these seemingly competing interests? 

With Congress just having passed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, and some States looking to file suit, the legal landscape has changed and may continue to change for a while. 

In this webinar we will explore those and other issues relevant to employers in today's climate.

  • Sick leave and other leaves of absence, including when and how employers must provide sick leave or other statutory leaves of absence for employees affected by coronavirus
