Months into the pandemic, it’s clear COVID-19 has impacted employers in many ways, particularly with respect to paid leave laws. In addition to standing state and local paid leave laws, the federal government and many local jurisdictions have also enacted COVID-19-related laws, leaving companies challenged with how and when to apply each type while remaining compliant. Jana Bjorklund, GovDocs’ Senior Counsel, Employment Law, sheds light on this added complexity to help you better understand your responsibilities as an employer, the relationships between these laws and guidance on how to apply them.
