Since March of 2020 (has it really been a year?!), the Governor has ordered employers to allow employees to work from home if they can in many industries. Many other employers have just decided to do it anyways.
Working from home has been far from a temporary thing; it’s THE thing.
But what about providing
With many workplaces now going on a year with remote workers, issues that were thought to be temporary blips are turning into major headaches.
Suppose your office in Stamford, Connecticut is closed and employee are allowed to work remotely.
What happens to those New York residents who are now working from home 24/7?

With vaccines rolling out to employees 55 and older on March 1, 2021, employers that thought they may face issues in a few months, now will be front and center for those considerations.
How do you deal with risks and litigation concerns?
My colleagues, Jill O’Toole and Sarah Niemiroski, and I have prepared a quick
Yesterday, Governor Lamont announced a sweeping change to the way that vaccinations will be distributed in Connecticut. Previously, it was anticipated that workers in essential businesses would receive the vaccines next. Many businesses started plans for the eventuality.

Where are the clusters of COVID-19 coming from?
That was the subject of a state report that was recently reported on by The Hartford Courant.
When a team of Connecticut officials traced 84 coronavirus clusters to their origin points, they found that the vast majority of those clusters stemmed from four places: restaurants, workplaces, homes

Over the last week, while many of us were trying to catch up on our stay-cations, Congress passed and the President signed The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Applications Act.
It’s a 5,593-page appropriations bill so I’m going to guess that you haven’t read it.
