Addressing the Serious Issues Facing All Employers from the COVID-19 Coronavirus
On Tuesday, March 24 at 11 AM EDT/10 AM CDT/9 AM MDT/8 AM PDT, Edwin G. Foulke, Jr., a partner in the Atlanta office of Fisher & Phillips LLP and Howard Mavity, also a partner in the Atlanta office of Fisher & Phillips LLP conducted a live webinar entitled “Addressing the Serious Issues Facing all Employers from the COVID-19 Coronavirus”.
The Coronavirus has now spread to almost every state in the United States and is causing significant disruptions in the workplace. Further spread of the coronavirus is likely more a question of when, not if. US government officials are developing additional plans to respond to this virus which is now being declared a pandemic. In an effort to boost the government’s response to the COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak, the U.S. Congress passed the Family First Coronavirus Response Act this past weekend, as well as, an economic stimulus plan aimed at addressing the impact on COVID-19 on all Americans and American businesses. This program will examine the significant and growing impact of the Coronavirus on the workplace.
The webinar discussed these topics:
· What employers’ responsibilities are; what they need to know about the coronavirus and how to limit its spread.
· What employers’ responses could be and what and how they are limited under federal and state law.
· The impact of the Family First Coronavirus Response Act on employers and what rights employees have under this new legislation.
