We know that many employers have been impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles. To assist clients in navigating the employment issues, we provide this Littler Report, “Operating Through Emergencies and Natural Disasters.” The report highlights common workplace issues that can arise as a result of natural disasters, including wage and hour disruptions, leaves of absence requests, benefit and tax implications of employee assistance programs, and other post-disaster considerations. Also included in the report are practical materials employers can tailor for their workplace, including a sample letter to employees regarding payroll delay, a natural disaster leave-sharing policy and related forms, and a remote work program checklist.
