What if Your Business Is Essential, But Your Employees Are Afraid to Report to Work?
Webinar | 04.03.20, 11:00 AM EDT - 12:00 PM EDT
As COVID-19 infections continue to mount, reports of employees becoming increasingly concerned about having to report to worksites across the country in service of essential businesses are escalating. Anxious employees are refusing to come to work, and in some cases, have already lodged formal complaints in court and with relevant agencies, notwithstanding the myriad efforts undertaken by their employers both to adhere to CDC guidance and implement wide ranging safety measures.
Please join us for a discussion of (i) the steps essential businesses can and should take when their employees refuse to work to report citing concerns about COVID-19; (ii) concrete measures employers should implement to satisfy their legal obligation to provide a safe work environment; and (iii) the legal risks associated with failing to do so.

To reduce waste and encourage recycling, an increasing number of international, federal, and local jurisdictions are embracing extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws, which have wide-reaching compliance implications for product manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and other entities falling within the varying definitions of “producers.” EPR laws assign covered producers greater responsibility for the full lifecycle of their products and establish mandatory requirements for reporting, source reduction, and financial contributions to third-party entities, known as producer responsibility organizations. EPR requirements apply to a variety of consumer product categories, including batteries, electronics, mattresses, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and, most recently, packaging and paper products.
