Over the weekend, I was joking with a friend that we’ve seen more changes in employment law in the last 18 months than the last 18 years.
That’s an exaggeration of course. But it certainly does feel like there’s been a lot of changes. Sometimes it’s hard to catch up. So rather than a long
Yesterday, I made a return appearance on This Week in Connecticut with Dennis House to discuss mandatory vaccination policies. (My thanks to Dennis for the invite back.)
If you’ve been following the topic, there isn’t a lot new the last few weeks but here’s what employers should know right now about them:
18 months.
Is that a long time? Short?
Everyone has marked this pandemic in their own time, but over the last few days, I realized that I hit the 18 month mark since I left work one morning not knowing when I would really be back.
For me, it’s been both a long and short
With the Delta variant continuing to surge throughout the country, employers have begun to seriously consider mandatory vaccination policies. As I mentioned before, on September 9th, we presented a webinar on the topic.

My colleagues and I have been fielding questions on
Maybe it’s the Delta variant. Or maybe the publicity regarding Walmart and Disney. But over the last two weeks or so, there’s been a renewed interest in whether employers can mandate vaccines in Connecticut.
Indeed, we have been fielding lots of questions from employers (and friends and family) about mandatory vaccination policies. But many of
Over the last few months, I’ve noted here and elsewhere that employers can very likely mandate vaccines.
Now are starting to see the first court cases confirm this.
In a decision issued over the weekend, a federal court in Texas rejected claims by a class of workers at a Houston hospital that the hospital’s policy
Did you like Executive Order 12 which set forth a new mask rule in Connecticut? Well, I hope you didn’t get used to it because it changed again on Thursday.
Executive Order 12A tweaks the prior rule.
It provides that the Department of Public Health shall issue a rule setting forth a comprehensive list of
We are still several months away from a vaccine for COVID-19, and probably still even further away from one that will be readily available to the general population.
But I’ve already heard grumblings from employers wondering — can I compel employees to get a vaccine when one is available for the coronavirus?
It’s a
