ACC ChicagoRETURN TO WORK – MANAGING NEW CHALLENGES IN THE WORKPLACE
COVID-19 has put unprecedented strain on organizations of all sizes across all industries. As employers adjust to the “new normal” in the workplace, they still face many challenges, including evolving legal obligations around COVID-related leave and workplace accommodation requests as well as issues related to employee off-duty conduct, travel and safety concerns and potential litigation. To properly navigate the complexities of these novel COVID-19 employment issues, you need innovative but practical solutions to mitigate risk and protect your most critical assets: people and reputation.
Our webinar will cover some of the key issues at the forefront of the workplace today, including:
• Families First Coronavirus Relief Act (FFCRA) and Department of Labor (DOL) guidance on paid sick leave and family and medical leave requests
• Accommodation requests, including remote work and extended absences
• The current wave of COVID-related employment litigation and what to anticipate in the future
• Employee noncompliance with social distancing guidelines provided by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
