The COVID-19 pandemic has created a myriad of employment litigation pitfalls for employers. On top of California’s already challenging legal landscape, business owners have to contend with rapidly-developing and constantly changing COVID laws and regulations at the federal, state, and local levels.
California employers increasingly face COVID-related employment litigation such as:
- Claims of alleged failure to provide a safe working environment
- Discrimination claims related to disability, medical condition, or age
- Leave claims under the FFCRA, CFRA, FMLA, and cities
- Cal/OSHA’s Emergency Regulations and a patchwork of federal, state, and local laws
- Retaliation and whistleblower claims
- Wage and hour lawsuits arising out of the pandemics’ impact on business operations
CDF Labor Law aggressively defends employers in COVID-related employment litigation and assists companies in avoiding the legal pitfalls so that businesses can continue to press through the crisis and look toward the new normal.
