While we won’t be returning to work anytime soon, it never hurts to start thinking about the policies that will need to be in place to ensure a safe and healthy workforce. Returning to the workplace has many potential pitfalls for both employers and employees, particularly when there are employees with preexisting conditions or in high-risk groups. If employers are not careful, they may invite an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) suit by requiring employees to report medical information, or unfairly denying a request for a reasonable accommodation. Additionally, creating different guidelines for return based on protected classes (like age) also creates the risk of an Equal Employment Commission investigation or lawsuit.
