As COVID and related science change, so does Labor/Employment law and established norm of Human Resources.  COVID-19 has brought us temporary changes in expanded paid sick leave (EPSL) and FMLA leave for small employers; Unemployment Compensation enhancements from previously untouchable sources; remote worksites: social distancing and enhanced sanitizing in offices to protect employees and clients; anticipated changes in policy and enforcement from the Biden Administration; and the continued need to adapt and communicate effectively with staff.  Bottom line: Be ready, set and prepared to change.
