How to prepare for COVID-19

Ensure your business has a flexible response plan and refine plans as needed for:
- Varying levels of severity of disease (i.e., number of sick individuals, hospitalization, death) in the community where the business is located.
- Impact of disease on employees that are more vulnerable and may be at higher risk for adverse health complications (e.g., older adults, chronic illness, etc.).
- Share plans with employees and explain what human resources policies, workplace and leave flexibilities, and pay/benefits will be available to them.

Employer Obligations

As an employer you have many legal obligations to consider as you make decisions around COVID-19.

Here is a news release from March 24, 2020 explaining Paid Sick Leave and Expanded Family and Medical Leave under The Families First Coronavirus Response Act

The Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer have many articles designed to assist you as you face these challenges. Please use this as a guide and also consult your own legal council as you plan to implement decisions. Also please review our OSHA information for other obligations you are facing as an employer.

OSHA

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) developed this COVID-19 planning guidance based on traditional infection prevention and industrial hygiene practices. It focuses on the need for employers to implement engineering, administrative, and work practice controls and personal protective equipment (PPE), as well as considerations for doing so.

This guidance is intended for planning purposes. Employers and workers should use this planning guidance to help identify risk levels in workplace settings and to determine any appropriate control measures to implement. Additional guidance may be needed as COVID-19 outbreak conditions change, including as new information about the virus, its transmission, and impacts, becomes available.
