Katy Rand Hospitality Maine Webinar Presenter: What if COVID-19 Strikes My Employees or Guests?
Pierce Atwood employment partner Katy Rand, and now-retired partner Jim Erwin presented to members of Hospitality Maine on the topic, What if COVID-19 Strikes My Employees or Guests?
Program Description
Many businesses have persevered through the pandemic-induced shutdown, the slow reopening, strict rules relating to restarting operations, and (especially for the hospitality industry and the retailers that depend on tourists) significant losses from the absence of customers. Having done everything you can to reopen safely and in compliance with state and federal guidance, you still face a frightening unknown – what if COVID-19 hits my business?
In this webinar, restaurateurs and innkeepers learned how to respond if an employee or customer is diagnosed with COVID, how to deal with a diagnosed employee, more about the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) what measures to take on behalf of your staff and customers such as cleaning, contact tracing, stepped-up hygiene and masking, liability risks, and when you might have to shut down altogether.
