Sarah Mitchell Montgomery and Brad Nitschke – The Holiday Workplace During COVID-19

As we enter the winter season with COVID-19 infections at record highs, businesses are preparing for an unusual holiday workplace where typical travels and gatherings are hindered. With the Thanksgiving holiday just weeks away, Jackson Walker Labor & Employment partner Sarah Mitchell Montgomery and Litigation partner Brad Nitschke discuss some of the issues they are hearing from businesses, including: What should businesses do to reduce the risk of holiday parties, business development events, or other traditional gatherings this year? What about office rules regarding gatherings, both inside and outside of the workplace? How are businesses handling the coronavirus fatigue that many of us are experiencing? Will the recent news of a possible Pfizer vaccine change how we approach the holidays?
