Employment
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) is presenting unique and unprecedented challenges for employers who have to grapple with complex issues. The effect on employers is unprecedented. Employers are endeavouring to mitigate the impact on their workforce; ensure the health and safety of their employees, comply with their legal obligations and consider practical solutions to employment law issues that are developing on a daily basis. As this crisis unfolds, it is essential that employers have a strategy in place to respond in a speedy, legally informed and pragmatic manner. The employment team at A&L Goodbody has been advising clients on COVID-19 related issues since the beginning of 2020 and has worked closely with a number of clients on successfully developing COVID-19 action plans. Please do not hesitate to contact your usual A&L Goodbody contact on the Employment Team if you need any specific COVID-19 related advice.
