Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act
The CARES Act contains a myriad of provisions intended to infuse economic relief to individuals and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Employers must understand how the Act, and any changes and updates, impact their organizations and the decisions they need to make on a daily basis.
Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)
On March 18, 2020, President Trump signed the FFCRA into law, requiring certain employers to provide their employees with paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19.
Managing Your Work Force and WARN Act Compliance
COVID-19 continues to create unique challenges for employers, starting by forcing them to evaluate all aspects of their business model, including cost and headcount reductions, in order to weather the pandemic. Employers are now faced with developing creative and legally compliant cost reduction initiatives, both during the social distancing phase of this situation and as companies begin to reopen their doors and re-hire or return employees from furlough.
Multi-State Resources: COVID-19 Advisor
To better assist you in navigating the challenges presented by COVID-19, Jackson Lewis attorneys developed the COVID-19 Advisor, a suite of nationwide surveys updated in real time to help employers assess and manage the impact of COVID-19 on businesses and their employees.

Return to work has become so much more than three simple words. Thinking ahead requires thinking differently. Re-opening means being open to new ways to work and conduct business. When it comes to the brave new workplace, Jackson Lewis attorneys take being your partner more seriously than ever. We will work with you to reimagine the future of the employer-employee relationship.
