An Employer’s Guide to Work Life in the Time of Corona

Peggy Anne Salz, Founder and Chief Analyst of MobileGroove, leads a Level-up Thursday discussion on the best practices for operating a business during COVID-19. Joining Salz is Travis Gemoets, an experienced trial attorney with Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell. Gemoets consults on a variety of employment-related matters and has been advising clients across multiple industries since the pandemic began – first helping with the shutdown, and later with re-opening. 

Topics in this session include: 

• The practicalities and legalities of creating a remote work environment
• Tracking hours, productivity, and responsiveness
• The difficulties of disciplinary action
• Preventing the potential misuse of independent contractors 
• Establishing preventative protocols when returning to the non-virtual work environment
• Flexibility for those high-risk individuals who cannot return to work 
• Paid-time-off during mandated quarantines
• Workplace guidelines – social distancing, cleaning, employer-provided PPE, modified workspaces
• Navigating the “new normal”
