This document summarizes a webinar presented by The Chamber For a Greater Chapel Hill-Carrboro on February 25, 2021 about COVID-19 vaccines, testing, and the road to recovery. The webinar included segments on what employers need to know regarding COVID vaccines and employment law with presentations from an attorney, health officials, and medical experts. Key topics discussed included COVID-19 vaccine eligibility and distribution, variants, herd immunity, workplace safety practices, employee testing and vaccination strategies, and Americans with Disabilities Act accommodations.
The Surprising ROI of Employee WellnessMedgate Inc.
If you see wellness programs as a nice-to-have, but not core to your employee health programs, you could be missing an opportunity to greatly improve your company’s bottom line. If you structure the program properly, show commitment, and promote it well, you could make huge cost savings while improving the overall health of your employees and their families.
In this case study webinar, Johnny White, Benefits, Medical and Wellness Leader at Logan Aluminum, will showcase the striking successes of its wellness program, which has been in place for over 20 years.
At Logan, the wellness data is so rich that their healthcare benefits provider has renewed at less the half the national average increase for thirteen years running. Logan’s employees make no contribution towards this coverage. That Logan is able to make these huge compound savings in a state that consistently ranks in the bottom ten for public health indicators makes it all the more remarkable.
Using case problems, this webinar will give attendees real-world examples of workplace wellness situations and help attendees learn from those situations so that they can design and implement a compliant wellness program. Through case problems, attendees will review compliance mistakes concerning HIPAA, ACA, GINA, ADA, FLSA, data privacy and tax laws. Participants will learn how to use those laws to build a better workplace wellness program.
Learning Objectives:
* Understand how to apply laws to specific factual situations.
* Identify red flags in certain common workplace wellness practices.
* Learn the basics of HIPAA, ACA, GINA, ADA, FLSA, data privacy and tax laws as those laws relate to workplace wellness programs.
The pandemic has changed the world for good.
We at inQsights wanted to better understand its implications on workforce and workplace management in the MENA region.
So we reached out to HR & Business Leaders in the region, to explore:
their outlook for the next year
the factors impacting business plans
their visualization of the workforce & workplace moving forward

COVID 19 Team-Based Approaches to Patient PopulationsCHC Connecticut
As presented as part of The Path Forward on Jan 28, 2021:
Stable housing and health outcomes are inextricably linked. When a patient loses housing – or is in jeopardy of losing housing– health outcomes suffer. COVID has led us to a moment of crisis. Thirty million to 40 million people in the United States face eviction. People of color are disproportionately impacted. Addressing housing as a social determinant of health is critical to achieving health equity. This webinar brings together experts from housing, healthcare and the intersection of both to share innovative short- and long-term solutions you can implement in your community.

30. Variants
• Mutations in replicating viruses,
like coronaviruses, are
common
• Those that lead to changes in
the virus that impact human
health are of concern
• Major variants
• B.1.1.7 – UK -> More infectious,
Maybe more severe disease
• B.1.351 – South Africa ->
Reduced protection by some
vaccines (not Moderna or Pfizer),
reduced effect of some COVID-
19 antibody treatments
• P.1 - Brazil

Remote Temperature
& Symptoms Check
Employees should check for
temperature and COVID
symptoms daily before
coming to work
Sanitization, Air
Purification, PPE and
Distancing
Daily sanitization protocols,
appropriate use of PPE and
avoid close contacts where
possible
Rapid Response
Protocols
Quickly isolate and test
employees with symptoms,
positive case exposure or
positive pooled testing
result.
Surveillance
Regular screening testing of
employes for early detection
of SARS-CoV-2 virus and
prevention of asymptomatic
spread
38. Employee Surveillance Testing
Why do it?
To prevent asymptomatic
spread in the workplace
●Up to 40% of cases are
asymptomatic
●Individuals are most
contagious 1-2 days before
symptoms
●Testing can detect the virus
several days before
symptoms
What is it?
Regular testing of
employees who are not
experiencing any
COVID-19 symptoms
What are the Results?
● 10X lower infection rates at
Universities practicing surveillance
testing
● UNC vs Duke experience
○ UNC reactive testing program
■ 670 cases in first 2 weeks
○ Duke surveillance program
■ 84 cases in first 10 weeks
■ 51% asymptomatic

47. Today’s Topics
COVID-19 ADA Accommodations in the Workplace
Vaccines! …and Accommodations, Again.
General COVID-19 Safety
48. Americans with Disabilities Act
An employee may have legal protections for COVID-related reasons under
the ADA.
The EEOC has prepared a consolidated website on COVID-19 and
compliance with the various laws the EEOC administers:
https://www.eeoc.gov/coronavirus. The website provides key information
for employers during the pandemic.
49. Americans with Disabilities Act
Key topics addressed by the EEOC:
– Temperature screening – allowed
– Antibody tests – not allowed
– Notifying health department that employee tests positive for COVID-19 – allowed
– Screening out pregnant or older workers – not allowed
– When remote work is a reasonable accommodation vs. undue hardship (factual
assessment)
– Is accommodation required to avoid exposure to high risk family member – No
– Vaccines
51. Vaccines
• Yes – Employers can mandate that employees receive the COVID-
19 vaccine (subject to state laws).
– The vaccination itself is not a medical examination
– But, pre-screening questions by employer or employer contractor may be a
medical inquiry
• But – Employers may not be able to exclude employees from the
workplace due to failure/refusal to get the vaccine.
• The unvaccinated employee must post a direct threat to a significant risk of
substantial harm to the health or safety of the individual or others that cannot be
eliminated or reduced by reasonable accommodation.
52. Vaccines
Yes - Employers can require an employee to show proof that they
have received a COVID-19 vaccine.
– Requiring proof of vaccination is not a medical/disability-related inquiry under the
ADA
But -
– Employers shouldn’t make additional inquires regarding the vaccination process or
why an employee did not receive the vaccine as this may constitute a disability-
related inquiry and violate the ADA
– Employees should be cautioned not to provide any medical information in
connection with documentation evidencing that they have received a COVID-19
vaccine
53. Vaccines
Direct Threat
– (1) the duration of the risk; (2) the nature and severity of the potential harm; (3) the likelihood
that the potential harm will occur; and (4) the imminence of the potential harm.
– VERY HARD TO PROVE.
Reasonable Accommodation
– Even if there is a “direct threat,” the employee may be legally entitled to an obligation if the reason
for refusal is related to:
• Disability- The Americans with Disabilities Act
• Religion- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
– If refusal is not related to these protected traits, no obvious legal obligation to accommodate
employee—but may still have practical considerations to weigh.
• NLRA activity
• Compensation for time spent getting vaccinated
• OSHA obligation to provide a safe workplace
54. Vaccines
Consider encouraging instead of mandating, through:
– Voluntary Programs
• Pre-Screening questions must be voluntary to the extent they are
medical inquiries.
– Incentives
• Must be equally available to those with legally protected reasons to
not get the vaccine.
Even after vaccination, continue with masking, distancing, other
safety precautions.

What employers need to know about the path ahead re: long-term
recovery planning and business continuity

60. The Town organized the ReVive effort to
make sure we were doing our part to plan
for a successful recovery post-pandemic.
The Advisory group met numerous times
to pick the consulting firm, review the
research and decide where the Town
should place its priorities to help assure
we thrive again.
61. ► The recession has had a disproportionate negative impact on populations of color and
workers with lower levels of education and income.
► Small businesses, particularly those that are locally-owned, have been devastated by
shutdowns and have struggled to adapt toward virtual business models.
► Significant layoffs have occurred in service industries with most impact felt in retail,
tourism, hospitality and some health care.
► College towns have suffered uniquely due to campus closures, a shift to online learning
and reduced student foot traffic.
► Remote work has led to a lower daytime population in Chapel Hill, resulting in a sizeable
loss in revenue for local businesses.
► Countless other changes have impacted the families, students, businesses, non-profits
and government workers of Chapel Hill.
Pandemic Facts:
62. Ø Chapel Hill sees strengths in the incredible assets of UNC-Chapel Hill and the health system. Residents
and business owners aspire to see a greater connectedness with the university by way of small business
support programs for minorities, incubation of innovative ideas and companies, learning opportunities for
all ages and backgrounds, and overall greater visibility throughout the community.
Ø Residents respect individualism and value the diversity of their community. They love the natural charm
and feel of being a college town. The community wishes that the diversity and talents of its residents were
better showcased by way of public art and events that drive traffic to the downtown.
Ø Chapel Hill seeks to balance any growth with investments in its livability to include more greenspaces
and bike lanes. There is a desire for the community to reduce its dependence on cars.
Ø Growth can be a been a challenge for Chapel Hill. Residents face housing issues related to affordability
and diversity of offerings. Workers and visitors struggle to access the community due to traffic and parking
availability. Businesses, entrepreneurs, and developers often face challenges with permitting and the
availability and cost of office space.
Ø The leaders of the community also feel that talent pipeline development needs renewed focus, taking
full advantage of the strength of the local school system, the presence of the university and technical
college, and the overall emphasis on talent-driven economic prosperity. New remote-work trends offer new
opportunities to recruit
Some of what we heard:
68. Critical early action will be required to implement the Recovery & Resiliency Plan:
1. Execute on a busines retention and expansion initiative to conduct 20 interviews
in 45 days from which feedback will inform future implementation and funding.
2. Expand marketing resources to tell the real estate opportunity story in Chapel Hill
to support filling vacant and new spaces in the community.
3. Create grant programs to support strengthening business during redevelopment
projects and as a part of post-pandemic recovery.
4. Look at work of similar economic development agencies in North Carolina and
compare the Town’s output to determine areas for potential growth in programs and
services.
Key Goals to begin moving forward:
