Despite the rise of new coronavirus variants, a growing number of businesses nationwide are seeking to bring employees back to the workplace.

In addition to increased business activity, employers cite the need to improve customer service and responsiveness, enhance employee supervision, rebuild corporate culture and values, boost creativity and morale, and address operational difficulties caused by remote work.

However, their decision has been complicated by the rapidly spreading Delta variant, vaccine resistance and employees’ misgivings about returning to the office due to safety concerns and the convenience of working from home. Employers navigating this new reality face difficult decisions with a variety of legal implications.

Join Fox Partners  Elizabeth Litten and Kenneth Rosenberg for a discussion addressing some of the most pressing legal questions facing employers today, including:

• Can employers ask workers about their vaccination status?
• Can they require employees to get vaccinated?
• What can they do if workers refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine or balk at returning to the office?
