Dear Benchmarks' members,

We wanted to share with you this very informative article related to businesses and employees.


LAST UPDATED: March 12, 2020
Fisher Phillips has assembled a cross-disciplinary taskforce of attorneys across the country to address the many employment-related issues facing employers in the wake of the COVID-19 coronavirus -  especially now that the World Health Organization has declared the outbreak as a pandemic. 

The COVID-19 Taskforce has created a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document, which has been continually updated since first published on March 3 and will continue to be updated as events warrant.  It has been completely updated as of March 12 to address the many additional workplace law rights and responsibilities given the pandemic designation

You can contact your Fisher Phillips attorney or any member of the Taskforce with specific questions, and a full listing of the Taskforce members and their practice areas is at the end of this publication.
