The topic of nearly every conversation and a high concern for most employers over the last three months can be summarized in one word: COVID-19. Months have passed since Texas saw its first stay-at-orders and conversations now routinely include phrases such “essential business”, “social distancing”, and “quarantine.” As state and local governments begin loosening (and, in some instances, tightening) restrictions on returning employees to work, the NACC’s member, Littler Mendelson, PC, has been actively monitoring state and local regulations, orders, and guidelines. In this webinar, labor and employment attorneys, Allison Williams and Paige Cantrell of the global law firm Littler Mendelson, P.C. will provide an overview of key employment law considerations triggered by COVID-19. Allison and Paige will provide insight and guidance on reopening your business and practical considerations to align with Texas guidelines, employee safety, and wage and hour practices. Additionally, it has never been more important for employers to make the best possible workforce restructuring decisions when considering reductions in force, furloughs, or layoffs. While making these critical decisions, employers must assure that they use a fair and nondiscriminatory selection process. Littler will review proactive planning strategies to safeguard your business. Littler understands that workplace issues cannot wait. With access to more than 1,500 employment attorneys in over 80 offices around the world, including an office in Oslo, Littler’s clients do not have to. Littler aims to go beyond best practices, creating solutions that help clients navigate a complex business world. For over 75 years, Littler has harnessed these strengths to offer fresh perspectives on each matter that it advises, litigates, mediates, and negotiates. This is sure to be a timely and informative webinar, please join us! Speakers' Bios Our speakers are Allison Williams and Paige Cantrell.
