Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC ChicagoAs employers and their employees emerge from “stay at home” orders and return to pre-pandemic operations -- either ending remote work or ending furloughs -- businesses are facing numerous issues. Will employees be reluctant to return to a workplace environment? How does an employer manage the workplace with social distancing, face coverings and shared work spaces? This panel of in-house counsel, employment attorneys and litigators will address issues to consider in the return-to-work process, proactive measures to avoid litigation, and the emerging employment-related litigation risks. Long after the last mask is discarded, these topics will resonate:
• Analyzing the latest guidance from the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, OSHA, and the CDC;
• Assisting vulnerable employees and those with childcare challenges if schools remain closed;
• Responding when employees refuse to return to work;
• Testing employees and contact tracing with a positive COVID-19 case;
• Exploring legislative liability waivers related to COVID-19;
• Requesting COVID-19 waivers from employees, visitors and clients;
• Understanding the interplay between return to work and workers’ compensation claims;
• Reducing litigation risk through positive employee relations.
