Please join us for a special edition of Third Thursday – Crowell & Moring’s Labor and Employment Update, a webinar series dedicated to helping our clients stay on top of developing law and emerging compliance issues.


In the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak, public health, business continuity and legal issues are changing daily. Many developments, from state and local closure and “stay at home” orders, to new federal, state, and local laws mandating job protected sick leave and other forms of leave for employees who are unable to work, are creating ongoing challenges to employers in determining if and how they can continue to operate their businesses in this unique environment. 


During this webinar, we will discuss recent developments regarding compliance with employment laws related to COVID-19, with particular emphasis on the implications of new guidance from EEOC and OSHA on employer rights and obligations, state and local laws requiring closure or reduction of non-essential businesses, and provisions in the Families First Act that provides paid sick leave benefits and tax credits in many situations. We will review the application of employment laws, including WARN and paid sick leave laws, to furloughs and closures. And we will summarize emerging best practices for employers on issues such as maintaining on-site employees during the outbreak, communications to employees and managing the workforce when facing possible coronavirus cases in the workplace, and strategies to manage teleworking arrangements. 


This webinar is scheduled for March 26, 2020, at 12:00 pm Eastern. We hope that you can join us and participate in a lively discussion of these issues.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
