In this Texas Lawyer article, Scott Fiddler and Brooke Willard identify some of the issues that have arisen and laws that are implicated as a result of the presence of the invisible threat of COVID-19 in the workplace. These issues include the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), wage-and-hour compliance, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN), OSHA compliance, workplace injuries and workers’ compensation, ADA compliance, and privacy concerns regarding employee health information.
