Lawyer as Employer: Handling Coronavirus Issues in the Workplace (2020)

These are tumultuous times. Employers across the state are navigating unchartered territory in responding to issues around COVID-19. How should my workplace prepare? How should we respond to a reported, or suspected case? Can we send an employee home who seems sick? What leaves are we required to provide? What new laws impact my business? My business was closed by government order – what now? What challenges should we expect when moving to remote work?

There are so many questions raised by what every business is facing, including law firms. To face the challenge, employers must be ready to prepare and pivot. In this program, we will talk about what you need to know and how to manage your practice while addressing COVID-19, including remote work, quarantines, and essential employees.
