Training: COVID Liability Concerns for Nonprofit Employers in Maryland

Presented by the Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland, two experienced employment lawyers will provide a training on risks and best practices to a mixed group of:

leaders of small nonprofits; and

volunteer lawyers.

The initial presentation will include an open Q/A session for nonprofit employers. After the initial presentation, nonprofit attendees will leave, and the trainers will facilitate a follow-up discussion and Q/A from the volunteer lawyers. Volunteer lawyers must commit to providing brief advice to a nonprofit client of Community Law Center (CLC) within one year from this registration.

Topics will include questions like these:

  • Can employers require employees to get tested or vaccinated before returning to the work site?

  • What physical resources and allowances should employers provide to on-site or remote employees, and to in-person customers?

  • What changes to policy or employee handbooks should an employer make regarding COVID?

  • What should an employer do if an employee/volunteer/member of the public believes they caught COVID at the work site?

  • How can, should, or must an employer accommodate employees who are at high risk, or who are sick?

  • Which laws cover which employers?

This event is Co-Sponsored by Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland and Community Law Center.
