As circumstances surrounding the pandemic continue to evolve, so do the challenges you face. In this 90-minute webinar, former EEO Director Saul Schwartz will not only give you guidance to tackle leave and attendance in the current pandemic environment, he'll also get you ready to address emerging issues related to the fall and winter seasons.

You'll gain a strong foundation of knowledge and best practices to deal with changes in laws, rules and regulations and to adapt existing laws, rules and regulations to the COVID-19 situation. Then you'll focus on new issues likely to arise from the return to school impacting employees' work, continuation of telework, weather events, a potential spike in COVID-19 and/or the seasonal flu, and annual leave carryover.

Get equipped to prepare action plans now to address these new leave and attendance challenges and also take away guidance to:

  • Determine when leave is appropriate under one of the 6 qualifying situations in the Families First Coronavirus Response Act
  • Assess if your agency's telework policies are well adjusted for the pandemic environment
  • Evaluate whether an employee is eligible for the new annual leave carryover
  • Determine when to allow weather and safety leave
  • And more

Webinar Registration:

$275 per connection until November 12

As your agency continually adjusts to the evolving workplace environment created by the pandemic, one thing remains constant: You must take action when employees commit misconduct. But how does the current environment change the standard for disciplinary actions? And how do the Douglas factors apply in COVID-19 situations?

Get the answers in this interactive webinar with noted federal employment law expert and popular trainer, Robert Erbe. From leave abuse to exceptions to the "obey now, grieve later" concept, you will get up-to-date practical guidance to address disciplinary issues during the pandemic — with a focus on evaluating each disciplinary action under the "efficiency of the service" standard so your agency makes defensible decisions.

You will take away strategies to:

  • Determine when it is appropriate to take disciplinary action in a COVID-19 situation
  • Take appropriate disciplinary action when an employee refuses to follow supervisory instructions, including not returning to the workplace
  • Identify when and how remote employees can be disciplined for misconduct
  • Respond when an employee’s discontent with workplace conditions and job duties results in disruptive behavior
  • Proceed with the procedural requirements of the formal disciplinary process during the pandemic
  • And more!
