Settlement
TCPA class action against the Los Angeles Times. Final approval granted 2014.
With many nonessential businesses now closed in California, many office employees have yet to return to work amid the COVID-19 pandemic. At some point, when offices do reopen, work life still will be different. What can employees expect once they need to return to the office? Will you have to return if you have a health condition that puts you more at risk? Or you have children at home participating in virtual learning?
Safety measures
Some of the coronavirus workplace safety measures employees should expect when offices reopen include the following:- Workstation setups that allow for social distancing
- Transparent plastic shields where distancing employees from visitors isn’t possible
- Hand sanitizing stations and the opportunity to disinfect your workspace more often
- No community coffee pots or bulk snacks
- Disabled water fountains (unless they have no-touch activation)
- Increased ventilation and natural ventilation (open windows) if possible
- Staggered start times and break times, to limit the number of people in communal areas
- Self-reporting of any symptoms of COVID-19 and perhaps daily temperature checks before beginning work
- Online video meetings or meetings held outside
