On Friday, April 3, Littler&amp;#39;s Sacramento office presented a webinar on dealing with COVID-19 in the workplace.&amp;nbsp;More than 500 attendees generated over 100 questions, and we were unable to answer all of them in the allotted time.&amp;nbsp;Plus, the laws relating to the pandemic are changing virtually every day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Therefore, to address evolving labor and employment law challenges,&amp;nbsp;we have decided to continue with a COVID-19 webinar on the &lt;strong&gt;First Friday&lt;/strong&gt; of each month.&amp;nbsp;The series is designed so that business leaders, human resources professionals, and in-house counsel can stay current with the best thinking that Littler has to offer during the crisis.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each session will begin with a 30 minute update on recent legal developments, including practical suggestions and strategic thinking for responding to new COVID-19 challenges.&amp;nbsp;We will then devote a full 30 minutes to an &amp;ldquo;open microphone&amp;quot; session to answer your questions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Webinar is complimentary.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Login information will be provided to participants the day before the webinar.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CLE credit requires following State-by-State Guide for submission. CLE is not available for Kansas or Ohio.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SPHR/PHR and SHRM certifications are pending approval.&lt;/p&gt;
