Webinar Recording: What Now? What District HR and Labor Relations Teams Need to Do in 2021 in Response to the Ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic

Jan 29, 2021 | Publications

As we begin the new year, leave rights under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) have expired, exacting and conflicting requirements of AB 685 and new Cal/OSHA regulations are in effect, the Governor has introduced a new Plan to encourage districts to safely resume in-person instruction as soon as February, and the CDPH has released updated COVID-19 and reopening in-person instruction guidance for districts. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic continues. This webinar will help your district proactively address these and other key issues.

During this webinar, DWK Shareholders Jon Pearl and Ellen Wu discussed best practices and how your district can proactively address these and other key issues.
