Millions of Americans have tested positive for the coronavirus, so it's likely some of your employees will become infected in the coming months. Do you know exactly how your organization MUST respond – for safety and legal reasons?

Whether your employees are working remotely, still on site or some sort of combination of the two, your HR and leadership team needs a practical strategy for how to respond when COVID-19 lands in your workplace.

On Thursday, October 29, this new webinar will provide an in-depth, step-by-step plan for handling a positive COVID test or an employee showing symptoms. You'll discover how to keep your workplace safe while staying in compliance with all the related laws (FMLA, ADA, workers' comp, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and more).

In just 75 minutes, nationally recognized attorney Jon Hyman, author of the popular Coronavirus Law Blog, will train your team on:

• The exact steps to take when an employee tests positive
• The proper leave of absence options you'll have to provide the employee
• Your requirements to ensure compliance with the FFCRA, FMLA, ADA and other laws
• Your duty to conduct contact tracing to identify and isolate affected co-workers and customers
• Your recording and reporting requirements … workers' comp? OSHA? CDC? State and local health departments?
• How to communicate to employees about the positive test (we'll provide you with a legally safe sample email)
• Steps you must take to clean and disinfect your workplace after a confirmed COVID case
• Answers to your questions about specific COVID-19 issues in your workplace

COVID-19 coming to your workplace isn't an "if" thing … it's a "when" thing. And one wrong move could lead to additional infections, the closing down of your operations, plus a legal and PR nightmare.

On October 29, discover a step-by-step, legally smart response to a positive coronavirus test that keeps your employees safe from the virus … and your organization safe from legal trouble.

Sincerely,

Pat DiDomenico, Editorial Director
