The new normal in Employment Practices Liability has had many obstacles as employers navigate the procedural changes needed to ensure they are in compliance with the ever changing laws. Knowing what to document, accommodate and adjust while striving to keep a business thriving can be overwhelming. Many businesses struggle to find answers regarding working from home, child care issues, health and safety, practical workforce considerations including layoffs vs. furloughs and impact of wage restrictions. It’s been challenging for businesses to navigate these tough times which is why USLI in conjunction with panel counsel hosted an important webinar Navigating the Normal with a focus on what is happening federally, as well as in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Topics included:
- Understanding the new federal COVID-19 laws: a baseline for all COVID-19 regulations
- COVID-19 as a protected class: job-protected leave and reasonable accommodations
- Important state-specific considerations: New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania
- Practical workforce considerations: layoffs, furloughs, wage reductions and rehiring
