Can I Layoff My Employees Because of The Coronavirus

If you are a small business owner, you are likely facing a tough economic outlook and the possible need to reduce your workforce rapidly.  The question becomes, what are your options.

Businesses should consider the following:

• Family Medical Leave and whether you are legally allowed to layoff employees
• How you will avoid claims of discrimination
• Your obligation to pay wages to date
• How you will pay bills such as rent and other office expenses, and what to do if you can’t make those payments
• Government funding assistance

Given the swiftness of the current pandemic, you need to be proactive. The 30 attorneys at Robinson & Henry works as a team across multiple areas such as bankruptcy, business, and employment law.
