OPEN to all Chamber and community businesses to attend!
Please join us for a presentation from Chamber Member, Eckberg Lammers Law Firm for a brief discussion addressing some of the below questions, and others, around returning to work during the COVID-19 pandemic. When the Governor lifts the stay orders as to a particular business, what happens when business owners want to reopen or have employees return to work, and employee’s feel unsafe and do not want to work?
- Can employees who have the ability to work from home demand the ability to continue working from home? Or can the Employer require them to return to the office?
- Can an employer terminate an employee who refuses to return to work (assuming EE does not otherwise qualify for COVID-related eFMLA leave or other similar leave)?
- Will such an employee who is terminated be entitled to unemployment benefits?
- How can an Employer and employees protect themselves? Who is liable if someone in the workforce gets COVID-19?
Please RSVP and we will send you the LINK prior to start time.
