The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) recently updated its COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions (“FAQ”) regarding employers’ reporting obligations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As previously reported, effective as of May 26, 2020, OSHA has declared COVID-19 a recordable illness for all employers. Thus, employers are responsible for recording workplace cases of COVID-19 on a OSHA 300 Log if the case: (1) is confirmed COVID-19, as defined by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”); (2) is work-related, defined as “resulting from events or exposures occurring in the work environment;” and (3) involves one or more of the general recording criteria, which include death, days away from work, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness. Moreover, employers must report to OSHA any work-related fatalities or hospitalizations due to COVID-19.

Candidates up and down the ballot are receiving record-setting donations, bolstering their campaign coffers for the last stretch of the election.
At this stage of the campaign cycle, the presidential candidates would usually be canvassing the country, shaking hands with voters and attending rallies and campaign staff would be knocking on voters’ doors. However, the campaign landscape has been significantly altered by COVID-19. Read more…
In this installment of Epstein Becker Green’s “Class Action Avoidance” webinar series, attorneys Lauri F. Rasnick and Frank C. Morris, Jr. address potential discrimination class actions related to office reopenings, the changing way in which we work, and the impact that the pandemic has had on individuals in protected classes.
As many employers think about reopening their offices and other workspaces, they should consider how they do so very carefully in order to avoid decisions that may adversely impact certain protected groups or lead to disparate decision making.
As featured in #WorkforceWednesday: While some might expect U.S. Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett to be a pro-employer judge, her record on labor and employment decisions could tell a different story.
