Our Return to Work team is partnering with clients as vaccinations increase, restrictions are relaxed, and employers evaluate resuming operations.
As businesses evaluate reopening after more than a year of the COVID-19 pandemic, work from home continues for some and the transition back to work is occurring for many. To help businesses adjust to our "new normal," our Return to Work team is actively working with employers to navigate the new workplace. You can access all of our resources on Return to Work in the Return to Work Knowledge Center.
State and municipalities around the nation put various kinds of stay-at-home and closing/restricting business orders into place as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) continued to spread as well as orders related to reopening and ongoing safety measures. Click here for a comprehensive list of orders.
As state and municipal restrictions continue to evolve, employers are revising their plans to bring employees back to the workplace. Resuming operations will not necessarily be addressed with a “one size fits all” approach, as requirements may differ for each business based on many factors, including their industry, location, customer base, and other specific concerns.
As employers’ focus increasingly turns to return to work, and state and local government restrictions are evolving almost daily, many questions are occurring. FordHarrison’s Coronavirus Taskforce is ready to assist employers in their decisions to reopen their workplaces and bring employees back. FordHarrison can help guide employers through the maze of issues involved in reopening their workplace, including:
- State and local requirements for returning to work and the easing of them
- CDC and OSHA guidance
- Considerations for return to work decisions
- Industry-specific considerations
- Hiring and recall procedures
- Health screening and HIPAA issues
- COVID-based employment litigation
