COVID-19 Return-to-Work Checklist

While many companies and their employees eagerly look forward to resuming operations and a return to normalcy, the continuing evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ever-changing legal and regulatory landscape mean, that at least for now, it cannot be “business as usual.” To minimize risk, employers need to plan ahead and adopt, document, and implement policies, procedures, and protocols based on the guidance being provided by Federal, State, and Local government agencies. The employment law team at Rogers Joseph O’Donnell has created a Return-to-Work Checklist that identifies key issues that should be considered when deciding when and how to return employees to their workplaces.

Topics covered by this checklist include, among other things:

• The creation of a safety/social distance plan;
• Accommodation of disabilities;
• Paid time off and leaves of absence; and
• Wage and hour issues.
