Employee Rights in the Context of COVID-19: A Video Chat with Employment Lawyer Alex Berke

Join Attorney Shannon McNulty as she speaks with employment lawyer Alex Burke, to learn about employee rights during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During our discussion, we’ll talk about your rights to paid or unpaid leave under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act. We’ll also cover the safety protections that workers are entitled to for those heading back to the office.

We’ll touch on preexisting conditions, reasonable accommodations, and some general thoughts on what to do if your rights are not respected.

There will be time for Q&A following the discussion.
