DATE & TIME

Thursday, May 14th, 2020
1:00 p.m. - 2:00p.m.

As we plan our returns to work and conducting our businesses, we all know that the workplace will look very different from the past due to COVID-19.  The “new normal” involves significant potential liabilities for employers, safety concerns, new laws and regulatory requirements.  Businesses need to be prepared and to have in place effective workplace policies as they enter this next phase.  Hear Offit Kurman’s experienced employment attorneys’ guidance on re-opening businesses while protecting from illness, avoiding public relations nightmares, and steering clear of EEOC, OSHA and other legal violations. The webinar will include:

  • Ensuring employee and customer safety in the workplace and beyond;
  • Policies every business must have to reduce liability and workplace risks;
  • Potential legal issues related to employees, customers and others re-entering the workplace; and
  • Preparing for the avalanche of new legal claims that are likely on the horizon

If you have any questions you would like to have addressed regarding the webinar topic please submit them when you register.

Please RSVP to this Webinar as space is limited.
