Lisa specializes in employment law and has been advising businesses of all sizes since this outbreak began about how to manage their legal obligations relative to employees. Issues she has encountered include but are not limited to;
compensating employees when they are not able to work (whether the employer has to compensate or not and if so how to calculate), responding to employee requests not to report to work based on their fear of exposure, and reporting to the GA DOL for employees whose hours are reduced or who are placed on temporary layoff, among others.
If there are businesses out there that have employment law questions, I am happy to help.
