COVID-19 AND UTAH - NEWS AFFECTING YOUR BUSINESS & YOUR EMPLOYEES

Law firm launches website to keep employers up to date on C-19 laws

Utah employers may be having a tough time keeping up with legislation related to the coronavirus pandemic, but a Salt Lake City Law firm is trying to help them. Parsons Behle & Latimer has created a website, COVID-19 Resource Center, with the intent of easing that burden by offering critical information from the new legislation to help employers make informed, strategic decisions about their business and future.

The website provides employers with summarized overviews of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and the Coronavirus Relief and Economic Act, as well as other loan and relief programs for small businesses.

Shawn Ferrin, a firm shareholder, said it’s important to ensure that clients have a “reliable source of information to make the transition through these times a little easier.”

From topics surrounding ADA compliance during a pandemic to testing employees for the virus, visitors of the site will be able to access articles written by attorneys who specialize in tax, labor, banking, real estate and healthcare laws.

“Fortunately, legislation to support and sustain businesses is being produced at an incredible rate,” said a Parsons Behle press release. “For business owners and employers struggling to stay on top of day-to-day issues, finding the time to gain an in-depth understanding of the new legislation and how it can benefit — or penalize them — can be overwhelming.”
