Helping Clients Overcome Legal Obstacles
Employers are rightfully concerned about maintaining cash flow during this
volatile time, and many are wondering if furloughs and reducing employee
work schedules are the right moves to make to save on costs.
Our legal team can discuss your situation and help you find solutions to
the following employment law matters:
-
Government Relief for Your Business: There are various federal and state loans and grants being made available
businesses. What option is best for your business and what requirements
are needed? We can guide you on the different government relief packages
available and assist with all forms and requirements to help your business
with the financial support necessary to weather this crisis.
-
Employment Contracts: Do you have contracts with your executive employees? Are you concerned
about honoring those commitments given the unanticipated impact of COVID-19?
Conversely, what if any impact has COVID-19 had on an employee’s
contractual requirements to your business and does this enable you to
offset payment commitments?
-
Temporary Business Closure: Do you have to temporarily halt operations due to the pandemic? Are you
wondering if this will be deemed a “necessary event” and you
will have to pay partial wages to employees? Contact our attorneys and
let us explain the correct legal procedures to enact in order to protect
your business.
-
Workers Compensation Insurance: Do you have employees filing workers’ comp claims for workplace
injuries caused by COVID-19? Not sure how to respond or if your workers’
compensation insurance covers these claims? Whether insurers will cover
workers’ compensation claims for COVID-19 hasn’t been determined
in court yet. But with our legal team on your side, you can count on us
to guide you through each step of this matter.
-
Health and Safety Law: Have you implemented the correct health and safety procedures to ensure
that employees are working safely and maintaining appropriate social distancing
to prevent the spread of COVID-19? Do you know what measures need to be
taken if an employee tests positive for COVID-19? We can inform you of
the correct procedure and draft an action plan for your employees to follow.
This way all of the proper parties and agencies are informed so that any
necessary containment measures can be implemented.
-
Work-From-Home: Do you have a clear work-from-home policy for your employees to follow
during the pandemic? Are you wondering if you still have to pay the same
rate if your employees are working from home and perhaps on a modified
schedule? We can answer these questions and more so you aren’t legally
liable for unpaid wages and other types of claims.
