On Friday, OSHA released “Protecting Workers: Guidance on Mitigating and Preventing the Spread of COVID-19 in the Workplace.”

In less than a minute, over on The Employer Handbook YouTube Channel, I breakdown the five important takeaways for employers. You can watch that video here. If you would like to read all 13 pages of the guidance for yourself, you can do so here.

And for those of you who may have missed Friday’s The Employer Handbook Office Hour on Zoom with my special guest Dan Schwartz, I’ve got that posted to The Employer Handbook YouTube Channel too. You can view it here.

You know that scientist in the action movie who has all the right answers if only the government would just pay attention? If you want a nerdy employment-lawyer brain to help you solve HR-compliance issues proactively before the action sequence, I’m here to help. I'm not only an EEOC-approved trainer, I offer day-to-day employment counseling, workplace audits and investigations, and other prophylactic measures to keep your workplace working while you focus on running your business. And for those employers in the midst of conflict, I bring all of my know-how to bear as your zealous advocate. I’m a trial-tested, experienced litigator that has represented companies of all sizes in a veritable alphabet soup of employment law claims, such as the ADA, ADEA, CEPA, FMLA, FLSA, NJLAD, PHRA, Title VII, and USERRA. I also help clients litigate disputes involving restrictive covenants such as non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, as well as conflicts over use of trade secrets and other confidential information.
