Attention All Employers: CDC Relaxes Mask Guidance

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) relaxed its mask guidance on Friday, 2/25/22. The change could allow more than 70% of Americans to remove their face masks as long as COVID-19 hospitalizations in their region remain “low” to “medium” based on the CDC’s metrics. 


Attention California Employers: California Reinstates Supplemental COVID-19 Paid Sick Leave

As most of the country taps the brakes on COVID-19 laws, California has its foot firmly on the gas pedal. Last week, California’s Governor amended Labor Code Section 248.6 by signing Senate Bill (SB) 114, which can be found here. The amended law requires employers to provide up to 80 hours of supplemental California paid sick leave for COVID-19-related reasons beginning February 19, 2022.


Employer Not Required to Accommodate Sporadic Attendance of “Extremely Anxious” Employee

This week, the federal Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed dismissal of an ex-employee’s lawsuit claiming discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) because her employer declined her request to “not work for half the day when she was feeling overwhelmed by her anxiety on a unilateral as-needed basis and with no advance notice to her employer.”
