Editor’s Note

The COVID-19 pandemic has spawned a wave of employment litigation, directly and indirectly, based on COVID-19-related health risks and employers’ response to the crisis. Check out our Cover article COVID-19 Employment Litigation Trends to understand some of the litigations employers could face in the coming months.

This month we are also featuring three interviews in the Straight Talk with HR.com segment.

In COVID-19 Testing And Employees: The Dos And Don’ts, Laura Calhoun (Senior Counsel, at Clark Hill Strasburger) touches upon the additional rules and regulations companies must be aware of when re-opening, what tests are allowed and what are not, and how employers can ensure safety when employees return to work.

In The Journey From A Complete In-Person To A Complete Remote Set-up, Renita Sandosham (Director of Employee Experience, Everlaw) shares her experience, challenges, and learnings from the transformation. 

And, in “Leaders Must Continuously Re-evaluate And Adjust Their Approach”, Amber Weiss (Vice President, Human Resources, Catapult Health) talks about the cultural change that is awaiting businesses in a post-COVID world, the challenges they need to address now and the expectation from leaders in the current scenario.  

Also read, COVID-19: Can Employers Reduce Employees’ Pay? by Grace Ferguson to understand the key legal issues employers need to consider while making any decision with regards to reducing pay during the pandemic, among others.
