Session Description: Please join the authors of An Employer Playbook for the COVID “Vaccine Wars”: Strategies and Considerations for Workplace Vaccination Policies (Dec. 2020) for the latest information and trends relating to workplace vaccination policies and programs. Topics will include the pros and cons of mandating vaccination or merely encouraging vaccination in the workplace through incentives or otherwise; the EEOC, OSHA, and CDC guidance most relevant to that decision; whether to provide vaccinations on site or other ways to minimize obstacles to employee vaccination; and how to handle employees who cannot be, or claim they cannot be, vaccinated.

In addition, Ms. Brown has defended nationwide and state-wide class action and individual lawsuits alleging, for example, gender discrimination under Title VII, failure to permit facility access under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and failure to compensate workers properly under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
