Research Triangle Park, NC (Aug. 10, 2021)COVID-19 has forced companies and workers to wrestle with innumerable policy and procedure questions when it comes to keeping everyone as safe as possible during a deadly pandemic, and changes to employment rules and regulations have been swift.

 

Have you been able to keep up? To help the Triangle community stay informed, GoTriangle is offering the free webinar Mission Impossible: Employment Law and COVID at 2 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 9. Register today at GoTriangle.org/mi.

 

Retired Administrative Judge Charetta Harrington of the Cleveland, Ohio, Field Office of the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission will talk about the impacts of COVID-19 on employment law.


“Current conversations about returning to the office, COVID, workers and employers are constantly evolving, causing organizations concern or confusion,” says Kim Johnson, Mobility Management and Employer Outreach coordinator at GoTriangle. “This webinar is to help clarify laws pertaining to hybrid work place policies and returning to the office for both employers and employees and to get an up to date understanding of the most recent changes and their impact on daily business operations.”
