Now that COVID-19 vaccines are gradually rolling out, employers are asking if they can – and should – require employees to get vaccinated and are considering what they can do if employees refuse. Given the complexity of navigating federal and state laws, MOUs, personnel rules, and practical considerations, employers should consult legal counsel before creating and implementing a mandatory or voluntary vaccination policy. Our Labor and Employment Law attorneys are assisting California employers regarding all legal issues related to COVID-19 vaccines. Our team provided a webinar on February 3 to address the myriad COVID-19 vaccination issues, including how employers can meet EEOC requirements, increase workplace safety, and minimize risk.

Employees have become increasingly vocal in expressing their political, cultural, and social views on- and off-duty. How can employers protect employee freedoms while maintaining a welcoming workplace, limiting discord and division, and preserving the organization’s values and reputation?

California Workers Compensation Presumption for COVID-19 (SB1159)JasonSchupp1
Legislation before the Governor of California would restructure the state’s approach to making workers compensation benefits available to employees who have been diagnosed with COVID-19.
In early May of this year, the Governor of California issued a sweeping Emergency Order creating a rebuttable presumption that COVID-19 positive employees working outside of the home between March 19 and July 5 contracted the virus at work. At the time, California’s Workers Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau estimated the order would cost employers and their insurers $1.2 billion in medical care, disability payments and death benefits.
On August 31, the California legislature passed an extension and restructuring of the presumption of compensability which now awaits the Governor’s signature. The legislation would:
• Codify the presumption established by the emergency order for the period March 19 to July 5.
• Extend the presumption of compensability for first responders and certain health care workers through 2022.
• Limit the presumption of compensability for other employees working outside of the home to apply only if there has been an outbreak of COVID-19 at the workplace.
Under the presumption rules for workplace outbreaks, an employer must report to its insurance company (or claims administrator if self-insured) once the employer becomes aware an employee has tested positive for COVID-19. The insurer will keep track of these reports to determine whether 4 or more employees at a specific workplace (or 4% of the workforce at the site, if greater) have tested positive over a rolling 14-day period. If that threshold has been met, the presumption of compensability arises with respect to employees testing positive for COVID-19 during the period of the outbreak and who worked at the location of the outbreak within the prior 14 days.
The employer can rebut the presumption that an employee became infected with COVID-19 due to a workplace outbreak with evidence of protective measures put in place to reduce the potential transmission of COVID-19 at the worksite or evidence of the employee’s nonoccupational risks of COVID-19 infection.
This is the PowerPoint presentation from Kegler Brown's "2011 Managing Labor and Employee Relations Seminar," held on March 1, 2011, at the Fawcett Center on the campus of The Ohio State University. Topics included recent case law updates, social media in the workplace, distracted driving policies, an update on workers' compensation from ODJFS, an update on complying with healthcare reform and much more.

Webinar: “Got a Payroll? Don’t Leave Money on the Table”PYA, P.C.
Under the CARES Act, every employer with a payroll has an opportunity to retain cash–whether they have a PPP loan or not. What employers need to know right now.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) along with the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) offer all business owners relief, but the details can be confusing or overlooked.
Perhaps you don’t fully understand how the deferral of the employer’s share of Social Security taxes works. Maybe you wonder if the deferral even applies to you—good news, it does if you have a payroll!
Failure to fully understand your options could cost you money, at a time when “cash is king.”
As part of PYA’s ongoing commitment to sharing helpful guidance, Tax Principals Debbie Ernsberger and Mark Brumbelow outlined issues and opportunities within the CARES Act, and answered questions during a one-hour webinar that originally aired on Wednesday, May 20, 2020.
The SAFE TO WORK Act (S. 4317) was first introduced as standalone legislation on July 20. The text of this proposed COVID-19 liability shield is included within the “skinny” coronavirus relief bill that recently failed a key vote in the Senate.
As detailed in the attached, the SAFE TO WORK Act would afford U.S. businesses, nonprofits and local governments protections against liability for COVID-19 infections markedly stronger than those available under the immunity statutes enacted by the States.
Under the proposed federal law, a plaintiff infected with COVID-19 would be required to prove through “clear and convincing” evidence:
• The defendant failed to make reasonable efforts to comply with applicable government standards or guidance to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19;
• The defendant acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct; and
• That gross negligence or willful misconduct caused the plaintiff to contract COVID-19.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.
