COVID-19 forced every employer to plan how to operate around the virus. This 60-minute COVID-19 workplace compliance webinar gives legal and practical guidance on the workplace issues of that period.
The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and the CARES Act created new rights, including expanded family and medical leave and emergency paid sick leave. Employers also had to manage worksite closures, layoffs, furloughs and pay cuts. You'll look at how workforce reductions affected CARES Act PPP loan forgiveness, what to do when an employee tests positive, and key CARES Act benefit provisions.
The session also covers OSHA and CDC guidance, ADA screening, wage rules for remote work and return-to-work strategies.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Pandemic-era rules raised many overlapping leave, safety, privacy and pay questions, and mistakes carried real legal risk. This session helps employers understand those obligations and how they connect with ongoing FMLA, ADA, OSHA and wage and hour requirements.
It suits business owners, HR professionals, in-house counsel, CEOs, COOs and anyone responsible for employment law compliance.
