The New Normal: COVID-19 Legal Developments Employers Should Know
The Coronavirus has now spread to every state in the U.S and is causing significant disruptions in workplaces. Because of this significant and growing impact, HR professionals must balance a complex combination of issues to respond to and effectively manage workplace issues related to the coronavirus, including: the Family First Coronavirus Act (FFCA), the CARES Act, paid sick leave laws, unemployment insurance, notice requirements, managing a remote workforce, and many of the fast-paced developments at the federal, state, and local levels. Employers need to know what their responsibilities are, available resources, and recommended approaches under the law.
Join NHRA for this 60-minute webinar, presented by Fisher Phillips attorneys Nicole Kamm and Hannah Sweiss as they review some of the key issues and prepare HR professionals with up-to-date news and recommendations. What policies and recommendations should employers put in place? What are an employer’s legal responsibilities and liabilities? What are the workers’ compensation implications? You’ll learn answers to these questions and more during this important session.
