Unchartered Workplace Waters
For many entrepreneurs and small businesses, the impact of COVID-19 has resulted in unprecedented losses in a short period of time. It has been a time of incredible stress, uncertainty and countless questions about how you can stay afloat, best manage your team and, eventually, rebuild.
At SpringLaw, we have been navigating these unchartered waters with our employer clients. We know how small businesses have been struggling and how business owners are laying up at night wondering how they will see it through to the other side of this tremendous business disruption.
You Are Not Alone!
As an employer, you know you need to pivot and resize your business. You want to do best by your employees, your business model and your own employment.
You care deeply about your team and your “baby” – your business, along with your reputation and keeping a roof over your family’s head. You want to be ethical and empathetic, but know you must also be pragmatic and that your decisions must be legally sound.
You are likely thinking, among many other things:
- Do I need to layoff or terminate my staff? What’s the difference? How do I do it?
- What government relief is available to me and how do I best use it?
- When and how can I recall my team?
- OMG the paperwork!!!
You are not alone! Many, many businesses are grappling with these tough decisions. You know they need to be made, but you need a starting point, a roadmap and some guidance on how to navigate this challenging journey, while also managing a payroll cash crunch and a tightened budget.
