HR and legal expert Max Muller will explain policies and procedures employers need to understand related to the coronavirus. Examples include FMLA leave, ADA limitations, FLSA leave and pay policies and worker's compensation for infected employees.

Threats of an outbreak have served as a wake-up call for many businesses that do not have an infectious disease plan in place. Coronavirus in the Workplace: Crisis Management Planning first airs on Thursday, March 12 and informs companies on how to put together a practical crisis response plan: assembling a crisis management team, conducting a risk assessment, developing internal and external communications and easing employee anxieties.

Infectious disease outbreak planning has many employers considering telecommuting.

Tips shared during this webinar include motivating off-site employees, establishing a foolproof communication network and setting up an effective reporting system.
