Last Updated: 04/28/2020

To be an employer in California is cumbersome on any given day, but it has become increasingly more so amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as businesses have been forced to navigate new rules and regulations, such as Governor Newsom’s Shelter-in-Place Order.

If you’re a California employer looking for clarity on the Shelter-in-Place Order, The Families First Coronavirus Reponses Act (FFCRA), WARN & Cal-WARN, or other rules and regulations impacting your business, watch this on-demand webinar with our partners at Jackson Lewis P.C. During the presentation, we will discuss this new legislation in detail and provide best practices for navigating new challenges facing the California workplace—from medical privacy considerations, to managing remote work, and more.
