COVID-19 continues to upend virtually every aspect of the business world, including breeding new issues in employment law and new takes on formerly settled issues.

Governmental orders restricting travel, issues created by reopening, and impacts on typical employment policies and practices are fueling a litany of questions. Can an employee be disciplined if they come to work with symptoms of COVID-19? Are there any legal risks to an employer who withdraws an employee’s approved vacation because their travel may result in a delayed return to work due to an obligation to quarantine? What does an employer do if an employee refuses to undergo COVID-19 testing before returning work? What if school closures continue this Fall and an employee has no more leave time available? Businesses and employees are seeking help in attempting to navigate these new and difficult issues.

This new program answers these questions and provides best practices for employers, as well as guidance for employees, who are facing these thorny issues.
