As the world begins to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, HR professionals are faced with many questions about how to enter the "Next Normal" and what is going to change from an employment law perspective.

Participants will learn:

  • What a return to in-office work will look like
  • What rights employers have to insist that employees work in the office, keep working remotely or a combination of the two
  • What to do about employees who don't want to return to work
  • Whether employers are still required to provide paid time off
  • How should we be adjusting our contracts to be ready for the post-pandemic world
  • What's new in employment law

Learning Objectives:

  1. Learn how to prepare for issues that may arise during a return to in-person work
  2. Address deficiencies in current employment contracts
  3. Learn about critical changes to implement in employment contracts.
