“U.S. Businesses Fear Never-Ending Liability from ‘Take Home’ COVID lawsuits” – Reuters

Vaccine rules … medical accommodations … employee leave … return-to-work policies … remote work … handling positive tests … pay decisions … safety/mask policies.

COVID has sparked a wave of legal claims against employers that are crashing into U.S. courts, leading to more and more headlines like the one above. The COVID Lawsuit Tracker by the Littler law firm just passed 5,000 employee lawsuits since the start of the pandemic. It’s essential for HR professionals to understand these updated risks—and know the steps to avoid the wrong moves.

On March 11, discover the most common areas of litigation in this current phase of the pandemic. And get trusted solutions (in plain English!) on what your organization must do NOW to prevent COVID liability in 2022. It’s your job to anticipate the trigger points for COVID lawsuits—and to prevent them. In this fast-moving, advice-packed webinar, we’ll show you how to manage this growing legal risk.
