In this episode, AGG Employment partner Theresa Y. Kananen and Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation of counsel Tia L. Martarella discuss the requirement under the American Rescue Plan Act that employers subsidize COBRA benefits for certain individuals for a period of six months, from April 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021.  

In this episode, AGG Employment and Litigation attorneys Megan P. Mitchell and Edward P. Cadagin discuss considerations for employers who are thinking about implementing a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy, or who wish to offer incentives to employees who receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Megan and Ed also discuss the EEOC’s updated guidance on vaccination in the workplace. 

As COVID-19 vaccinations have become readily available, more and more businesses are returning employees to work on a pre-COVID schedule. The CDC recently issued guidance stating fully vaccinated people do not need to wear masks in most cases. Some workers, though, are not anxious to return to work. In this episode, AGG Employment partners, Ashley S. Kelly and Theresa Y. Kananen, discuss how to handle several common scenarios in which employees are reluctant to return to work.
