Employers, now more than ever, are required to evaluate remote or telework opportunities for their employees. COVID-19 forced employers to send their employees home and look for opportunities to work remotely on an emergent basis without the benefit of a considered plan or risk assessment.

The need for telework persists. Employers must evaluate their business needs and balance those against state and federal guidelines for safety, security, and risk analysis.

This webinar will assist you in developing appropriate work from home opportunities. It will assist in your evaluation of appropriate insurance coverage including the definition of rights and responsibilities of both employer and employee, as well as what constitutes a work-related injury. It will facilitate the recognition of the application of competing state and federal statutes that overlap with workers' compensation liability.

This information will prove an invaluable resource for the development of workplace policies and protocols as we continue to navigate the ever-changing work environment presented by the demands of telework and the global pandemic.What You'll Learn:What Is the Correct Coverage?
