(NEW YORK) – The Jewelers Vigilance Committee (JVC) and Greenwald Doherty, employment law attorneys, have joined to co-host a timely presentation on Tuesday, November 17th at 1:00 pm EST on how to avoid employment lawsuits, especially during these unprecedented times and changing laws.
As the pandemic continues to upend workplace norms and disrupt employment relations in unprecedented ways, employment litigation has taken on a unique spin. The presentation will cover a variety of key issues that employers are facing and could lead to lawsuits if companies are not proactive, including: accommodating employees with disabilities; considerations in terminating, laying-off, or furloughing employees; COVID and safety-related matters; and harassment, discrimination and retaliation concerns. In addition, the speakers will discuss special wage and hour considerations (that are heightened by the remote work phenomenon) and leave-related issues, in addition to providing practical, proactive solutions that businesses can take to protect themselves.
