COVID-19 Return-to-Work Strategies – A Legal Perspective
WHAT WE’LL COVER
Many workplaces have started opening up. All employers should evaluate their current practices as COVID-19 releases its grip on the world, including:
• How to comply with applicable health and safety requirements for employees and visitors
• Distributing new policies and other employee communications regarding the new “normal,” and the benefits available to them, including the new California sick leave
• How to address employees who want to remain 100% teleworkers
• Strategies for encouraging a smooth transition while still recognizing individual employee needs
