Employment law is likely the last topic on your mind when a disease outbreak is making headlines or there is a virus going around the office. However, you must tread cautiously when faced with employee health issues as several employment laws may be at issue including the ADA, Title VII, OSHA, and others. From bed bugs and flu shots to Zika and chemical sensitivities, we will discuss what steps you can take to ensure you are prepared. This session will:
