A step-by-step strategy to handle positive tests…
plus to plan for the vaccine
Millions of Americans have tested positive for the coronavirus, so it's likely some of your employees will become infected in the coming months. One wrong move could lead to additional infections, the closing down of your operations, plus a legal and PR nightmare.
Do you know exactly how your organization MUST respond to a positive test – for safety and legal reasons? What if employees are showing mild symptoms – is it a winter cold or flu … or must the employee quarantine? Do you know what you should be doing now to plan for the coming vaccine? And how will your obligations change under the new Biden administration?
On February 25th, discover an in-depth, step-by-step plan for handling a positive COVID test or an employee showing symptoms. You'll learn how to keep your employees safe from the virus while staying in compliance with all the related laws (FMLA, ADA, workers' comp, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and more).
