H1N1 (Swine) Flu Workforce Resources

The influenza season has begun in the Northern Hemisphere. In response, we have created this resource for clients and employees, placing in one easily accessible location Morgan Lewis materials relating to the flu pandemic, links to up-to-the-minute government and NGO resources, and contact information for our dedicated team of attorneys knowledgeable about these issues.

Given the anticipated increase in absence rates and possible disruptions to transportation and supply chains, it is essential for employers to make every effort to prepare for the workplace consequences of this pandemic and to communicate their pandemic preparedness plans to their workforces. Morgan Lewis is a nationally recognized authority on pandemic preparations and has a team of attorneys with experience advising clients on occupational health and safety, the impact of infectious diseases in the workplace, healthcare and public policy, and Department of Labor regulatory issues.

Contact us if your organization has questions regarding best practices for managing employee privacy issues, leave laws, benefits, labor collective bargaining agreements, or compliance with national, state, and common law requirements during this pandemic.
