ABOUT THE EVENT

As an employer, you are probably quite concerned about whether you could get sued if an employee contracts COVID-19 in your workplace.

This webinar will help not only answer this question but it will also provide a step-by-step guide on how to avoid liability for employees’ COVID-19 deaths. We will recommend strategies, policies, and procedures for you to have in place to help protect from liability when employees get COVID-19 in the workplace. Other important questions that will be discussed include what role does worker’s compensation laws play in all of this and whether there has been any change in state worker’s compensation laws recently as a result of COVID-19? Also, whether there are other laws being passed or proposed that could possibly provide immunity for employers if an employee can show they contracted COVID-19 in the workplace? The answers to these and many more questions will be provided in this in-depth webinar analyzing these COVID-19 liability issues.
