Washington’s High-Risk Employee Proclamation and Other Proclamations You May Have Missed
On July 29, 2020, Governor Jay Inslee expanded workers’ rights under the High-Risk Employee Proclamation that he first put in place back in April, and he extended this proclamation indefinitely while the COVID-19 State of Emergency remains in place. During this presentation, we will review the new rights that high-risk employees now have; discuss how these rights affect return-to-work decisions; touch on some of the other recent, employment-related proclamations; and leave room for audience questions.
Speaker: Jonathan Minear, Employment Attorney at Jackson Lewis P.C.
