It has become apparent that COVID-19 is going to dominate employment and labor law issues for the foreseeable future. Employers are grappling with both the personal and economic effects of the pandemic, looking at all options available to alleviate the fiscal impact on their business both for the short and long term. Should we extend furloughs? What benefits options can we offer? Do we need to change our compensation structure? How can we prepare for the coming wave of legal claims? Littler attorneys who have been counseling clients during this unsettling time will provide insight and advice on how to continue to navigate these and other COVID-19 related workplace issues.
