(Recorded Webinar) Beyond the Basics: Navigating the Challenges of Remote Work Arrangements

Duration: 76 minutes
Recorded on: 2/14/2023

When the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020 and several states issued varying degrees of stay-at-home orders, many businesses were abruptly forced to transition to remote work arrangements overnight. As a result, employers’ efforts to implement remote work policies were largely an “on the job” (pun intended) learning experience, which slowly evolved in real-time by trial and error.

Full Description

When the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020 and several states issued varying degrees of stay-at-home orders, many businesses were abruptly forced to transition to remote work arrangements overnight. As a result, employers’ efforts to implement remote work policies were largely an “on the job” (pun intended) learning experience, which slowly evolved in real-time by trial and error. Over the past couple of years, as employees have returned to the conventional office workplace, businesses have accepted the post-COVID reality that maintaining some semblance of a remote work arrangement benefits the bottom line as it increases productivity and performance, reduces turnover (by providing workers with a better work-life balance), and lowers costs.

However, despite the formalization and implementation of remote work programs, businesses continue to face new legal challenges.

 In this webinar we will take a deeper dive and explore some of the more advanced legal challenges and considerations that organizations grapple with, such as:

  • Combatting “quiet quitting” in the workplace
  • Conducting remote personnel investigations
  • Requests to work remotely as an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodation
  • The applicability of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to remote workers
  • The rise in lawsuits by remote workers seeking reimbursement for home-business expenses
  • Negotiating remote work policies with unions

In this webinar, we will navigate through the legal issues presented by these challenges; and, we will walk you through the best practices to help your organization reduce potential liability.
