Webinar: Critical Employee Benefit and Legal Issues Associated with COVID-19

As the employer landscape continues to evolve due to COVID-19, many employers are thinking about how their business model may change both today and in the future. What does this all mean for employers from a cost cutting perspective, an HR perspective and a legal perspective?

This webinar will discuss answers to employment and benefit related questions that are most frequently being asked by our clients in the current COVID-19 pandemic environment, as well as impacts of existing and developing statutory and regulatory provisions. Our discussion will include: differences between layoff and furlough; health and welfare coverage during layoff or furlough; necessary steps to be considered and taken by the employer; and principal impacts of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES).

Additional program topics include:

• • WARN Act and state law equivalent implications
  • Impact on exempt and non-exempt status employees who are laid off, furloughed, or whose pay is reduced
  • Eligibility and qualifying reasons for paid sick leave and expanded paid FMLA leave
  • Privacy considerations in conducting medical screenings and requesting medical information
  • Availability of Reasonable Accommodations
