North Carolina employers continue to be subject to restrictions focused on minimizing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This global crisis presents complex employment law issues for employers to consider in order to conduct business in the current environment and to plan for the eventual return to a new normal. In this webinar, the speakers will discuss:
- the latest state and local government orders;
- navigating North Carolina’s new unemployment benefit rules, use of attached claims, and new COVID-19 Support Payment Plans;
- key considerations for compensation and staffing, including wage and salary changes, incentive bonuses, alternative staffing models, and turning furloughs into reductions in force; and
- liability traps to avoid as employers return to business in this new environment, including employee health and safety planning, leave laws, retaliation concerns, and best practices to minimize risk in these areas.
