As the pandemic continues to upend workplace norms and disrupt employment relations in unprecedented ways, employment litigation has taken on a unique spin. The presentation will cover a variety of key issues that employers are facing and could lead to lawsuits if companies are not proactive, including: accommodating employees with disabilities; considerations in terminating, laying-off, or furloughing employees; COVID and safety-related matters; and harassment, discrimination and retaliation concerns.
In addition, the speakers will discuss special wage and hour considerations (that are heightened by the remote work phenomenon) and leave-related issues, in addition to providing practical, proactive solutions that businesses can take to protect themselves.
