A critical issue facing employers as stay-at-home orders are lifted and employees return to the workplace is maintaining employee health and a safe work environment. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has determined that employers may establish health screening measures (including COVID-19 testing, on-site temperature checks, and other health-related inquiries) before allowing employees to return to the workplace. But how do you do so in a safe, legally compliant, confidential, and non-discriminatory manner? This program will review key components of health screening policies that employers should consider when reopening their place of business, including:
• Screening methodology
• Screening protocols
• Maintaining confidentiality
• Consequences of screening/test refusals
• Testing costs
• Reasonable accommodations and permissible exemptions under federal laws
This webinar is presented by Connell Foley Labor & Employment Law partners Marianne Tolomeo and Molly Hurley Kellett.
