U.S. Employer Guidance for Reopening the Workplace BCLP's Covid-19 in 19

Increased discussion of reopening the U.S. economy has raised numerous questions as employers prepare to return their employees to the workplace. In just the last week, President Trump's White House issued its Opening Up America Again three-phased approach for re-opening the economy, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued guidance about returning to work, and the states of Texas, Georgia, South Carolina and Vermont have issued plans to rescind their shelter in place orders in phases – all while other states have extended their shelter in place orders. While there is no single roadmap to reopening in these continuing uncertain times, employers should begin to consider what measures will help ensure a safe, orderly return to business.
