Being an Employer in the time of Covid Economic Luncheon Featuring Diane Y. Bower, Esq.

As the Covid-19 situation grew and escalated to a global pandemic, federal and state government regulations, mandates, statutes, and orders regarding the virus were issued on what seemed to be a daily basis.  A large share of the regulatory burden in those directives has fallen on employers, who are already facing labor and materials shortages due to the virus.  Recently, a mandate was   issued requiring employers with over 100 employees to ensure their employees either are vaccinated or get tested weekly for the virus.  Join us for an overview and update of this latest round of employer requirements.
