The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is expected to release updated guidance to employers soon with regard to incentive plans that are appropriate with respect to wellness programs as they relate to COVID, as well as information related to harassment, COVID immunizations and employer policies following its April 28 hearing on the Civil Rights Implications of COVID-19.
During last week's America's Newspapers Workforce Management Academy, Camille Olson, a partner with Seyfarth Shaw, promised to keep members of America's Newspapers updated when that new guidance is issued.
Olson said, "COVID has not just affected wage-hour and paid leave issues." She said it has affected every aspect of the workplace, and has had a particular impact on various minority groups and women in the workplace.
During last Thursday's 45-minute webinar about equal pay issues and COVID-19 vaccines (what employers can and cannot do), Olson was joined by two additional partners with Seyfarth: Annette Tyman and Chantelle Egan.
