The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is impacting employers all across the US. Every organization should have a plan of action in place concerning operating in an environment dictated by the virus and its implications. This webinar by Jennifer Raphael Komsky, Esq. will provide legal and practical guidance on various workplace COVID-19 issues.
The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) have created new rights such as expanded family and medical leave and emergency paid sick leave that employers need to comply with. Employers today are also struggling with navigating worksite closures, layoffs, furloughs, and pay reductions. During the webinar, Jennifer will explore the impact of workforce reductions on CARES Act PPP loan forgiveness, what to do if an employee tests positive for COVID-19, and key employee benefits provisions under the CARES Act.
