Telework Toolkit: Policy Essentials & Multi-State Considerations for Employers
The COVID-19 pandemic forced many employers to rethink remote work policies, and “hybrid” work environments have since become a reality for many employers. With an abundance of potential remote work issues at stake, particularly when multi-state borders come into play, it is important for employers to implement effective policies that protect their workplace on the front-end. In this presentation, Barran Liebman attorney Wilson Jarrell will discuss considerations for a remote workplace, including remote work as a reasonable accommodation, wage and hour considerations, and geographical considerations for employees working remotely from out-of-state.
Specific topics will include the following:
-
Legal & Practical Considerations in Drafting Remote Work Policies
-
Managing Expectations & Requirements of Remote Employees
-
Compliance Concerns with Employees Working Partially or Fully in Other States
-
Recent Developments in Advertising Open Positions Which Could be Filled Remotely
-
