About the Program

Join this panel discussion about how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the employment relationship. This CLE will focus on how working from home impacts employment procedures (i.e. hiring and firing, implementation of policies), how employers are adapting to laws and guidance on leave, and how workers’ compensation is evolving to address the ongoing pandemic and remote workplace claims.

You Will Learn

  • About Paid Leave and FMLA Leave issues in relation to COVID-19
  • About Leave as a reasonable accommodation in relation to COVID-19
  • About compensability of infectious diseases and remote workplace claims, and application of that law to such claims, including problems of proof of causation
  • About hiring and firing practices, updating workplace policies, and other workplace considerations in relation to COVID-19

Who Should Attend

Lawyers of all disciplines and experience levels who are interested in managing the workplace during the COVID-19 pandemic. Attorneys and other professionals with an interest in labor and employment law. Workers’ compensation practitioners and attorneys representing employers of workers with occupational exposure to COVID-19.
