EMPLOYER CONSIDERATIONS ON RETURN TO WORK - Sherrard Kuzz

As government orders are lifted, employers will enter uncharted territory. Sherrard Kuzz LLP has a deep understanding of the pandemic’s impact on businesses and industries, and how to work through the related workplace issues. 

We are ready to assist clients throughout this process – to develop and implement customized Return to Work (“RTW”) plans, train workplace leaders on how to manage the issues, and audit existing employment agreements and practices to assess whether they should be amended to provide greater flexibility in the event of a future shut-down or slow-down.  

To help you get started, we have developed the attached Complimentary RTW considerations. Topics include: 

• Health and Safety Measures to Reduce Risk
• Personal Protective Equipment (“PPE”)
• What To Do When an Employee Has (or May Have) COVID-19
• Managing the Recall Process
• Managing Requests for Accommodation
• Work Refusal Under Occupational Health and Safety Legislation
• Employee Reluctance to Return to Work
• How to Prepare Now

We are also hosting a Half-Day Workshop – ABSENTEEISM AND ATTENDANCE ISSUES IN A COVID-19 WORLD, in which participants will acquire knowledge and the tools to effectively and efficiently address a range of absenteeism and attendance issues related to COVID-19.
