While our physical offices are closed, our firm is open in its entirety and available to assist our clients with all services spanning our seven practice areas, including providing guidance ad representation around the unique labor issues arising in response to COVID-19.

The landscape is changing by the day, but these issues already include:

  • Consideration of COVID-19 as a presumptive work-related injury
  • Provision of 4850 benefits for all employees who contract COVID-19
  • Accommodations for employees in high risk groups
  • Allowance of telecommuting for employees who can work from home
  • Allowance of employees to utilize accrued leaves if they wish to self-isolate
  • Paid administrative leave rights if ordered home or quarantined after an exposure, until confirmed to have contracted COVID-19 or is cleared to return to work by a medical professional.
  • Accommodations (hotel, browned out station, etc.) at the agency’s expense if quarantined
