With the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), businesses must prepare and take steps to ensure employer policies account for a potential workplace disruption.
As circumstances and needs are unique to each business, it is imperative that employers develop and communicate their company's policy as relates to safety concerns, COVID-19-positive employees, workplace absences, business travel, remote working implications and other issues.
Connell Foley's Labor and Employment Group is working with businesses to develop tailored policies expeditiously and is available to answer questions or help with your company's policy.
