Overview:
As the Coronavirus spreads, employers are finding themselves in a conundrums that seem to grow exponentially, along with the disease. Decisions about working remotely, evaluating potential workplace hazards, and responding to employee concerns and maintaining business operations are just a few of the issues confronting employers.
In addition to the above issues, in this webinar we will discuss an employer’s legal obligations in the face of the pandemic and provide some practical guidance for dealing with crisis.
Why you should Attend:
The Coronavirus may have brought much of the world as we know it to a temporary halt. Employment laws, and employers’ obligations, however, are not on hold.

In this webinar we will explore those and other issues relevant to employers in today's climate.
