Operating During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP present a CLE about reopening and operating considerations for employers during the pandemic. The CLE is intended to assist employers and their legal counsel in better understanding what obligations exist during this time with regard to compliance with health and safety regulations, as well as compliance with employment laws including anti-discrimination, anti-retaliation, wage-and-hour, and leave laws. The discussion will begin with an overview of the current legal landscape, including federal and local regulations and guidelines that employers should be informed about. From there, there will be a discussion of the types of pandemic-related claims being asserted in recent litigation against employers, and tips on best practices for mitigating risk during this time.
