With the status of COVID-19 changing on a near-daily basis and the state's stop-and-go reopening process, employers are faced with unique employment law challenges related to safety complaints, reluctant or unwilling employees, mask-wearing debates, accommodation of medical and personal issues, and the ongoing impact of FFCRA benefits for illness and child care unavailability.
