Are you feeling overwhelmed with all the questions from administrators and employees alike regarding how COVID-19 might impact areas of importance to them? The pandemic has brought forward so many questions that we as HR leaders have never had to consider before including the interpretation of collective bargaining agreements, paid leave requirements, FFCRA, FMLA, ADA accommodations – and communication to the school community. We are pleased to present a legal update by Adam Wattenbarger and Alex Ivan of the law firm of Kennedy and Graven centered on all of these questions and more. Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn on October 23!
