Employment Law Tips During the Pandemic – What Business Owners Need to Know

As many people transition to work-from-home set-up or employ social distancing measures in the workplaces, the organized system that we are used to in our offices might no longer be existent. However, this should not be a reason to disregard good employment practices. Make sure your business is still complying with employment law.

In addition to the employment law practices you already have, here are some of the things that you might want to integrate into your operations:

1. Follow the government’s protocol when it comes to Covid-19 response in the workplace

If your employees get sick of the virus, do you know what to do? Make sure you provide them with the necessary support that they need such as paid sick leaves and family medical leaves in case their family member gets the virus.

2. Make sure there is no discrimination in the workplace

The pandemic has caused another problem in the workplace: discrimination. People who turned out positive but have recovered might face the stigma of having the illness in the workplace. Other employees might discriminate against them. You need to ensure that your employees understand that this isn’t tolerated in your workplace.

3. Ensure the safety of the workplace

Assist them in getting the screening that they need in and make sure you reduce liability by setting up social distancing measures in the workplace.
