A New Hope: COVID-19 Vaccines in the Workplace and other Employment Law Developments for 2021

At last, a COVID vaccine has arrived, giving the world and employers, specifically, new hope that things can finally get “back to normal.” But if you’re like many media, entertainment, and technology executives, you’re struggling to figure out how the vaccine will fit in to your business and how you can use it to make your employees, partners, and clients safer. Can you require your workers to take the vaccine? How do you deal with workers who refuse to do so? When can you go back to in-person work? Aside from COVID, is there anything else employers should be aware of in 2021?

 

In Part IV of our ongoing return-to-work webinar series, we’ll discuss:

 

  • -Up-to-date vaccine guidelines
  • -Setting up vaccine requirements and employee priority 
  • -Reasonable accommodations and objections related to the vaccine
  • -Maintaining, limiting, or discontinuing COVID safety protocols
  • -Reducing legal exposure
  • -Employment law updates for 2021
  • -And much more

 

Please stay for our extended Q&A period following the presentation to have your important questions answered!
