Garfunkel Wild’s Andrew Zwerling, Marianne Monroy, Salvatore Puccio, and Lauren Levine will present the webinar “An Employer’s Practical Guide To Facing Day-To-Day Coronavirus Challenges” on April 20, 2020.
In the last several weeks, myriad laws and protocols have been issued by Federal and local governments in response to the outbreak of the global COVID-19 virus and to dissipate the profound economic and health, and safety impacts of the virus. Examples of this are the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act and Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act, which are part of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES ACT). At this juncture, while most employers are familiar with the eligibility requirements and magnitude of the leave benefits under these new statutes, they are lacking practical information and guidance on how to implement these requirements.
The webinar will address such issues as:
How to deal with COVID-related health issues in the workplace:
- What measures can employers take to determine if employees coming into the workplace have COVID-19 or related symptoms?
- Can employers tell their employees if a co-worker contracts COVID-19?
- What types of accommodations must an employer consider related to COVID-19?
Planning for your PPP Loan:
- Can employers furlough employees until the PPP loan comes in?
- How can employers apply for a PPP loan?
- How can employers deal with reductions in force and salary reductions in light of a PPP Loan?
Addressing Unemployment Insurance Issues:
- How do the new federal unemployment provisions work?
- What is the interplay between State and Federal Standards?
- What are the rates of unemployment under the new rules?
- What to do with employees who don’t want to return to work?
