Many European countries have instituted emergency measures designed to save jobs and help employers maintain business continuity through the “war on COVID-19.” This webinar will address the various programs available in the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, and how global organizations are able to access these programs to retain employees and recover costs. The speakers will also cover frequently asked questions related to furloughs, reduced schedules, temporary unemployment subsidies, use of accrued vacation time, and benefits issues, as well as recommended steps to effectively implement such measures while strengthening employee engagement during these difficult times.
This course is designed primarily for attorneys, human resources professionals, and executives, including in-house counsel, general counsel, and board members. We certify attendance for submission to bar associations or employers.
